Father’s Day Dinner

Hey Dads! This Father’s Day, give yourself a break from the grill and join us at San Antonio Zoo for an unforgettable dining experience. We promise it’ll be better than your dad jokes!
On Sunday, June 18th festivities begin at 6:00 p.m. with a specialty cocktail in hand as you watch world-famous hippos, Timothy and Uma, enjoy their dinner during a special drop feed. You’ll also have the opportunity to chat with their keepers and learn more about these amazing animals. As the sun sets, indulge in a four-course dinner crafted by our talented chefs, while enjoying stunning views of Timothy and Uma’s habitat from Hippo Overlook. Each course is perfectly paired with carefully selected whiskeys to create a culinary experience like no other.
