The San Antonio Zoo has once again amped up its ren faire-themed Dragon Forest attraction.
Starting this weekend, the zoo will offer Dragon Chronicles theme days, which will take place twice a month on Saturdays through October. Each will feature themed programming based on movies, books and even role-playing games — all showcasing dragons.
Attendees can expect live animal entertainment, live music and other performances. They’re also encouraged to dress in family-friendly costumes or cosplay that suits each day’s theme.
The Dragon Chronicles dates and themes are as follows:
- Aug. 7: Storybook
- Aug. 21: House of Dragons
- Sept. 4: Dungeons & Dragons
- Sept. 18: Wizarding School of Dragon Alley
- Oct. 2: Cartoon-Con
- Oct. 16: Dragon Treasures
- Oct. 30: Ghouls & Goblins
“Dragons have long been a part of many stories throughout time,” Zoo President and CEO Tim Morrow said in a press release.
“These themed days will allow our guests a unique opportunity to be surrounded by dragons while participating in the books, movies, and even fantasy role-playing games they love. Our guests are going to have a fantastic time!”
Additionally, the zoo is currently running a buy-one, get-one-free promotion for Dragon Forest tickets. The offer is redeemable using the promo code DRAGONS at checkout.
