In a meaningful celebration of life and remembrance, San Antonio Zoo invites the community to engage in its 3rd annual Dia de los Muertos ofrenda as part of Zoo Boo!, Presented by PNC Bank. From now through November 2, visitors are welcome to bring 4x6 photos of their beloved late pets to place or hang on a community animal ofrenda located in Zootenial Plaza, creating a collective tribute to the cherished animals we have loved.
Dia de los Muertos, a revered Mexican holiday that honors the deceased, holds deep cultural significance in San Antonio. The zoo's community animal ofrenda, or altar, offers a vibrant space for guests to add their personal memories, forming a colorful mix of photos, flowers, and symbols that celebrate the lives and spirits of our animal companions.

To enhance the experience, San Antonio Zoo will assist with photo printing on select days. They will be available from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on October 3, 4, 7, 9, 15, 17, 21, 23, 28, and all-day during Dia de los Muertos on November 1 and 2.
Join us at San Antonio Zoo all season to celebrate Dia de los Muertos, where love, memory, and the spirit of togetherness come alive in this unique community activation
