San Antonio Zoo is a jewel. Incredible landscaping, and you can see all the new vipers (30, mostly tiny) in TX that swam across in their herpetarium.
Corpus has some really great nurseries, coastal plants if your zone can support it. At the aquarium there is a ray and shark petting pool: they swim counter-clockwise and surface up for you to pet them as they go by.
Frenchy’s is gone, but I think Snoopy’s is still there. This is where you get a beer tray full of every fried seafood, and shoot some darts.
