The San Antonio Zoo is transforming the visitor experience with new art installations and sculptures that celebrate the city’s dynamic culture.

 

Replacing the beloved 'Lion Pride' at the entrance, a striking 'Bronze Gorilla' by local artist Bob Guelich now welcomes guests, ushering in excitement for the upcoming Congo Falls exhibit opening later this year.

 

Above, the vibrant 'Butterflies in Flight' installation highlights the zoo’s commitment to conservation and the anticipation surrounding the enhanced gorilla habitat.

 

International artists Gillie and Marc contribute with the thoughtful 'Beno Thinking Big' sculpture and the interactive 'The Wild Table of Love,' inviting visitors to connect more deeply with endangered animals.

 

Inside Congo Falls, the living 'Gorilla Topiary' by River Oaks Plant House and 'Gorilla' by Sherry Sander further unify art and nature.

 

Student murals and animal art across the grounds spotlight local talent and underscore the zoo’s community focus.

Ballet San Antonio is supporting local federal employees by offering 1,000 complimentary tickets to its upcoming production of 'Giselle' amid the continuing government shutdown.

 

This offer will be available at the H-E-B Performance Hall in the Tobin Center for the Performing Arts during the season opener, with 250 free tickets set aside for each show from October 17 to 19.

 

Federal employees can claim tickets on the Tobin Center website using the promo code BSA4SA.

 

Inspired by themes of love, loss, and forgiveness, 'Giselle' promises a moving experience for local audiences.

 

Ballet San Antonio’s ongoing outreach also includes 'Send the Kids to the Ballet', giving free tickets and rides to children from area schools and community groups.
