About Kiddie Park
Kiddie Park dates to 1925 and now runs its vintage rides, including a hand-carved Herschell Spillman carousel, on the San Antonio Zoo grounds. It is for kids ages 1 to 12 and under 54 inches. You need zoo admission to get in, and the $14 unlimited wristband beats paying $3 a ride once your child rides five times.
