Love is a jungle, and at San Antonio Zoo, singles had the ultimate chance to roar into romance at the electrifying Meet Your Next Ex event! On Saturday, February 8th, over 800 guests embraced the night’s playful, flirty, and wild atmosphere, proving that there truly are plenty of fish in the sea—and the zoo was the perfect place to find them.
The event delivered unforgettable energy, unexpected connections, and a vibrant, inclusive experience.
A Wild Night of Fun and Flirting
San Antonio Zoo transformed into the city’s most exciting singles scene, setting the stage for Meet Your Next Ex—a one-of-a-kind event designed for those looking for romance, fun, or just an unforgettable night out.
The event featured Club Wild Thingz, a high-energy dance floor pulsing with beats from a live DJ, ensuring the vibe stayed electric all night. Singles swayed, spun, and mingled under lights, embracing the flirty, untamed atmosphere.
Beyond the dance floor, guests experienced burlesque performances, adding a bold, theatrical twist to the night. The mix of music, movement, and playful interaction created an atmosphere where chemistry sparked and connections ignited.
Icebreakers: The Perfect Matchmaking Formula
The night also featured interactive games and mingling activities designed to break the ice and push singles out of their comfort zones. These lighthearted challenges encouraged spontaneous conversations and unexpected connections—because sometimes, the best relationships start with laughter!
The Unique Color Code System: Making Connections Simple
To make mingling effortless, the event introduced a creative and inclusive color-coded system that made dating preferences clear at a glance:
💙 Blue – Looking for men
💛 Yellow – Looking for women
💚 Green – Looking for any
❤️ Red – Wing person
This approach eliminated the guesswork, allowing guests to approach conversations confidently, knowing they were on the same page. The welcoming, inclusive environment ensured that everyone—regardless of orientation or relationship goals—felt comfortable and engaged.
A Record-Breaking Turnout & Lasting Memories
With 800+ singles in attendance, the night was an undeniable hit. And with last year’s event drawing over 1,000 people, it’s safe to say this has become one of San Antonio’s most exciting Valentine’s season traditions.
Some came looking for love, others just wanted a fun night out—but no one left without a few new stories to tell (and maybe even a new phone number or two).
By the end of the night, the crowd was buzzing, friendships were formed, and the dance floor was still going strong. Was it love at first sight? Maybe. Was it an absolute blast? Definitely.
