Join us Saturday, November 11 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. for our 5th annual Get Out and Play Day! Organizations from across the city will be at the zoo to provide fun family activities to learn about the benefits of playing outdoors through nature-based activities.

We are excited to announce that this year’s Get Out and Play Day will be the San Antonio Zoo’s first ever BioBlitz! A BioBlitz is a community wide event were everyone will help find native wildlife in the zoo, in the city and in your own backyard! We will have stations to show families how to secure a future for wildlife by taking pictures and posting them to I-Naturalist, Journey North, E-Bird and many more! We are encouraging our guests to learn about how each organization helps species like the monarch butterfly and many more native Texan’s that need our help!

Get Out and Play Day is included with zoo admission and FREE for members! Learn more by visiting our website: https://sazoo.org/getoutandplay/

Our volunteers hope to add some bat sonograms from their BatWatch to help identify as many taxa as possible for this BioBlitz.

Please take picture of wild animals, plants, or fungus around the zoo and post them! (No zoo animals as that will skew the data)

Our goal is to post as many different native Texas as possible from in the zoo and around the surrounding areas! menos ↑
