We’ve always had a positive experience here. It’s small and easy to navigate. The kids all seem to enjoy the train ride. Boo at the Zoo is always a hit!

Lovely zoo!!! Best zoo in Texas. I also like the Austin Nature & Science Center, but here’s a list of reasons why I enjoyed the Austin Zoo:1) Almost every animal (I think except the prairie dogs) have a plaque that say where the animals come from. To animal lovers, this is a big deal. It shows that these animals were acquired humanely. They weren’t purchased or traded. They are all surrendered or rescued. This was a huge deal to me and I appreciate it so much.2) Fun interactions! I loved feeding the alpacas and goats etc so much, I went back to the gift shop for more feed! I went November 1st 2020 and feed costs just $3! That’s a great value for the fun and interaction.3) All kinds of animals- monkeys and large cats and birds etc. I loved the variety of animals they served4) All the animals had enrichment!!! Every single enclosure had toys or a fun way to feed the animals. The animals just seemed really well cared for5) They have a fun train. To ride the train was $5, and it was a fun little ride. Really nice if someone if your party wants to just sit down but still have a good time

We love visiting the Austin Zoo! Its a rescue zoo, meaning the animals at this zoo were either found in bad situations or were otherwise surrendered and in need of a forever home. We visited this morning and my young kiddos especially loved the monkeys, peacocks, tortoises, lions, tigers, bears, and parrots. We appreciated the measures that the zoo is taking for safety during these Covid-19 times (masks for everyone 2+, hand sanitizer and hand washing stations, efforts to reduce touch surfaces, etc.). Theres also a train ride for kids, and an area to feed goats, and they have various food trucks on-site. Its a fun afternoon!

I really enjoyed the wildlife rescue zoo. At first I was expecting a typical city zoo, but realized Austin doesn’t have a city zoo. This privately owned and funded zoo is doing a great job of providing homes for rescued animals. I enjoyed learning about the animals, but I especially loved reading about their stories. Some of the stories really tugged at your heart strings. I noticed they had some company sponsors, which is great too. They are doing a great job for being privately funded. If you need a place to sit while at the zoo I would recommend bringing a chair, because all the benches are blocked off due to COVID. They also require masks while outside even with social distancing so be prepared for the heat with a mask on. I would recommend bribing water. They do have a vending machine for water if needed. All the animals were well cared for and I felt like my ticket went to a good cause. Just come with the mindset of animal rescue and you will enjoy this zoo. Oh almost forgot they do have a train ride for $5 per person on top of your ticket where you can see more animals.

I’ve been going to the Austin zoo for years, and Ive always loved it. Its perfect if you have small kids- they have a petting zoo, peacocks walking around, an adorable train ride, you can spend a couple of hours or less and thats plenty off time to see everything.However, they have really gone downhill. The prices are ridiculous. I had no idea you had to purchase tickets online. They made my kids and I stand under a tree while everyone got to go through. I was finally waved over and able to pay. I felt like a naughty kid being punished. The bathrooms are closed down- two nasty porta potties. There is no longer much to see. I seriously don’t think you get what you pay for.

It need much help and needed funding, most of the enclosures were empty.Not clean bathrooms. Please help them

This is not your typical zoo , so if you get a chance to visit dont expect what you will find in the Bronx , San Diego or Cincinnati . This is more of a walk in the woods and its an animal rescue . I got a chance to visit looking for work and was surprised at what i found , Lots of nice trails that are well shaded and looks to be well taken care of . The animals there look to be happy , well fed and the staff was very polite and helpful. I will tell you to be cautious when visiting the lion exhibit ( The Males Spray ) So ... if you are in the area and would like a super time with the kids , go check these guys out ! The only reason they didnt get 5 stars , I was not offered the job ???

Cute little educational Zoo with beautiful animals I never got to see at my home town zoo

Fun zoo! Done if the areas were closed off most likely due to covid but we still had a great time!

Well its technically not a zoo. Its more like an animal shelter for all types of animals. Its sad to see the big cats and bears hardly have enough space for them. They rely on the visitors for donations. A zoo should be a zoo like the zoo we know and used to. So please call it something else but the zoo.

Did a good job with making sure people wore masks and not too many families around to make it crowded. Plexiglass between the train cars. Kind woman working the gift shop gave every child peacock feathers. It was a fun adventure!

Austin zoo is a great small zoo and rescue for many animals easy to walk around and see lions, tigers and bears o my! Worth the cost of admission we go everytime we visit austin.

All of the bad reviews are from people that dont actually like conservation or animals. This zoo is bangers and a really cool place to go to outside of Austin. The free roaming peacocks added to the overall vibe. I saw a zookeeper snuggling a chicken. 10 out of 10, will return.

I dont know what you call this place, but this does not look or feel like a zoo. With most of the animals out of view and seem to be out of commission due to overwhelming sluggishness. Keep out tape or red fence tape everywhere. All but one concession or vending was closed, with the only one being toward the end of the zoo exit. So assuming you dont want anything to eat or drink until the end. Oh and that will only be chips and drink. Lets also keep in mind visiting will feel a lot like driving though a ton of backwoods away from anything city just to get here. I feel like the zoo was an afterthought to the city.

Cant wait to go back and visit my animal friends! I love how all of the animals are rescues! Didnt get to ride the train, as we were too late. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, a lot of areas were closed off, but we will be back once its safe

I purchased 2 adults and one child ticket to the zoo. I never got my confirmation email. So I printed the web order confirmation. When I got to the admission stand the woman said I only purchased 3 child admissions so I would have to pay the difference. She said it happens all the time. I refused to pay the difference because I know what I paid for. She made a scene and called the manager who refused my admission unless I paid the difference. I WAS HUMILIATED. If this happens all the time you may want to look into why this is happening on you website so that folks who came to support your business dont get embarrassed at checkout. It was just poor customer service and I will not support an entertainment business who cannot understand that the customer experience is what you selling. I hope you know how sad that is for the poor animals you have rescued.

I took my kids to the Austin Zoo for the first time today, and I have to say, I was more than pleasantly surprised! It was great to see such a wide variety of animals, the grounds were clean, parking was easy, and the kids loved the goats! Having grown up in Chicago with the Lincoln Park Zoo as my frame of reference, I thought the Austin Zoo was fantastic. Despite the COVID restrictions, the animals were out, the visitors were respectful, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my experience, and will for sure be back!

We drove 5 hours from Louisiana to Austin, TX and decided to stop by. I understand that everything is taped off because of covid-19 but some enclosures you couldnt even see. The reptiles were completely off limits too. I dont think the gift shop was even open. I dont regret paying because I know it goes to the animals and the workers but I would lie if I said I wasnt extremely disappointed.

This was Very disappoinment!! It was 107 ,ok, I get it after all.it is summer. But those animals had green water if any. There were 3 bears in one small cage ,unable to see if there was any water. They could barley move. More than half the animals we could not see and the ones we did, looked like they had no way to cool down. Oh and that poor donkey was so very thin his back saged and you could see all his ribs. Very disappointed. Do not recommend. Visiting from California.

I cant wait to go again. The train ride was nice and long. But the animals and zoo keepers were above expectations.

This was my first time to the Austin zoo. It is very unique and different from any other zoo Ive been to. The meaning behind this zoo is really awesome. The employees and staff were very well educated about this zoo and very friendly. Weve fed the Galapagos turtles. They were so friendly and so cute I recommend you and your family should do this as well. The lady that was helping us was named Val. (I think) she was very friendly, smart, knew all the animals,was down to help us even in the Texas heat. there was a lady on the phone I spoke to as well and I cannot remember her name but she was so sweet this morning and very helpful getting us signed up to feed the turtles.

Seems like an exotic animal rescue that found a new life. Still, pretty nice . Its a small zoo and Id recommend it if youve got time and a car while in Austin.

Cheap, fun place to visit with kids. The facility has done the best they can to keep the animals and visitors safe during covid-19. Not a huge Zoo and a lot of things are blocked off but overall a great place to have a fun time!

Worst experience. Boo at the zoo was a joke. Poor visibility of the animals that we were allowed to see. If your establishment couldnt offer much then dont offer anything. The director said you could feed the animals...goats? Really. Go somewhere else. Dont waste your money on this place.

Small privately owned zoo so don’t expect a lot from this place. It was clean over all but the vending machines do not work properly.

Love this zoo... its actually a animal rescue and not a zoo so dont judge that its on the smaller size... Enjoy and support the animals that live there... you wont regret it.

The zoo itself is fairly nice and has an array of different animals. However, if you are worried about social distancing, people wearing masks, etc., you wont find it here. There seems to be no enforcement or encouragement to wear a mask or stay away from groups of people. I understand that they may be understaffed, but I believe more signage around the park would help encourage more compliance.

The animals are lovely and very playful. They are not shy and the greatest experience was seeing the beautiful white tiger named Zulema

This was literally the worst zoo experience I have ever had. The zoo was so small and most of the animals were in small cages and looked depressed. On top of that the ticket lady was rude. There was literally nothing enjoyable about the Austin zoo. I have been to many zoos, including small zoos and usually enjoy the zoo, but this one was not enjoyable at all. I do not recommend.

The place has a lot to offer. You have exotic animals like lions, tigers and Galapagos turtles, and the staff are friendly. All animals here are rescues, and the entry fee goes into their upkeep. The train ride is nice too. Great for the whole family!

Absolutely loved it. For Covid19 there is a predefined loop. We brought our 16 month old daughter who loved the train ride and feeding the animals (there are a few animals you can feed, you buy the feed for $3.25). The train ride is $5 per person but it takes you on a hill country ride. There are tons of wonderful animals including a Zebra !!!

It was not as expected. I was hopeful due to the 5 star rating. Alot of cages were empty and due to barriers it was hard for my 4 year old granddaughter yo see what animals were there.

Excellent Halloween activity for the whole family. Boo at the Zoo = getting to watch the nocturnal animals being VERY active

Good small animal sanctuary. Some shade but super hot in the summer. Train ride is fun too

Summary: Affordable, well shaded, educational, funPower tip: visit in weekdays after 1pm to avoid the field trips full of kidsDetails:Excellent place to visit in the fall when the temps have fallen a little. The animals are more active when its not hot as H-E-double hockey sticks.Take the train for $3 per adult, totally worth it and the kids love it.

We had a great time at the zoo today. Arrive early (we got there at 10 a.m.) when most animals are active and many are eating breakfast. Dont skip the 15-minute train ride at the end. You can purchase water, popsicles, goat food, and stuffed animals in a socially distance store at the end of the trail.

A great place to go through multiple times, particularly in the morning when a lot of the animals are being fed. The enclosures have a good mix of places for the animals to hide and places for them to be seen.

A smaller zoo than expected, but allows a much more interactive experience. Grounds were well kept. Environment was much better/different than bigger zoos.

Used to bigger zoos. But it was fun. There is not really a place to cool down except the gift shop. The strollers that are for rent are not much for pushing in the gravel. So bring your own bed l because they dont even have space to put anything in them.

They have organized where its a one way trail, some areas are off reach but we got to see all the animals that we wanted to see. You can go around as many times as you want. The sitting areas and restrooms are unavailable, there are portapotties in the entrance and exit. We brought a snack but the picnic area was at the very end and no other area to sit throughout. The train was unavailable that day. The shop is now by the train area set up outdoors.

Nice zoo. About an 1.5 hours to see all of it. Little feeding area for goats and alpacas. Some areas were blocked off, all food and restrooms are closed currently.

Smaller zoo than I thought it would be. With corona, theyve done a pretty good job of managing the flow and capacity of the grounds. Kids had a fun time, but theyre younger. I think older kids might be bored with the zoo. Prices are reasonable. Im sure Ill be back again.

Excellent facility! Enjoyed our visit as one of our last stops for our Austin visit!

One of the down to earth zoos. It was super rainy and cold so we were basically the only ones there! Such a cool experience! My favorite bird lives there and I will be back to visit again.

$14.95 is overpriced when half of the zoo was blocked off and with ugly orange construction blockade. After all, it was nice to be able to see the white tiger and lions close up; the bears, the llamas and the farm animals gave a good experience. BUT HUGE bummer that the train was broken, we got refunded but the main reason we came is for our LO to have a real train ride experience. Really disappointed.

Staff were nice and they had some pretty impressive animals, but the zoo itself was definitely more of an animal rescue - and not one in the best state of repair. We did not mind paying to get in if it goes towards the cause, but it was not what we were expecting when we planned to visit a ‘zoo’ in a major metropolitan area.

Everything was blocked off, the animals looked like they haven’t ate in a long time. There was social distancing from the animals you couldn’t even see half of the animals because you were so far away. I can’t believe we wasted money.

The zoo was pretty good. A lot of areas were blocked off i assume because lack of staff due to covid. But for the most part it was nice.

Love the Austin Zoo. Can’t wait to go back when they are fully open and I can enjoy myself again. I appreciate the concern over covid as all sensible people do but closed off areas and being asked to wear a mask outside in the Texas heat for several hours is just not feasible. And they are still charging full price.I pray for this to all end quickly so we can all enjoy the wonderful animals!

This place was so cute! Well shaded, lots to see, and the price was great! (Found tickets on Groupon) We even purchased food to feed certain animals! We will definitely go back

Great trip with the kids! Seeing different types of animals up close was an enjoyable experience. I questioned why they couldnt be released to the wild and a staff member informed me that because they had been domesticated from rehabilitation or as previous pets/rescues, they would struggle to survive. Its great they have a sanctuary for them and the kids loved seeing them!

Love this place! Dont expect a commerical zoo, this is far from it. Its a rescue for exotic animals and thats our favorite thing about it. My kids love the train ride and being able to feed the animals. Highly recommend!!

Gravel road too dangers for our elderly parents. Port a potty were nasty and animals looked sick and unhealthy. Too pricey for the few interesting animals we say.

I loved it! Not your typical zoo. Its rescued animals. But they were active. We had a picnic inside. And feeding the animals was fun for the kids. The train ride couldve been better but it gave us time to unwind at the end. Its totally worth the time.

The animals all look happy and healthy. The staff is very nice. And its very kid friendly. You know Ive been to a lot of zoos and its a smaller one, but I could of spent hours there. My niece and nephew got tired. But only spending 11.95 for a great experience priceless. And it looked like they are expanding. My point is the animals looked not stressed out I saw a mountain lion peacefully sleeping in a tree. We walked by the wolf exhibit and they started howling. And they have a petting and feeding the animals part that the kids loved. It great Im going back again next week. If there was a ten star rating Id give it that.

Amazing big - little zoo! Its one of my kids favorite spots in Austin! The best part are the knowledge zoo keepers that are willing to take the time to answer my sons 10,000 questions.

The best day ever it had really cool animals i will recommend the best place were to see animals i liked were the birds would say hello thank you Austin Zoo

This zoo was awesome! Very up close experience with the animals. Felt as if they were probably really cold ! No heat for the animals. Over all really cool non profit zoo. Workers knew all the animals by name. Were very friendly and willing to tell me about the animals.

Very disappointed. There was no indication on their site that many of the attractions were closed, such as the reptile house and train, yet the prices were the same. All exhibits are roped off to keep you so far away that its almost impossible to see some of the animals, again still charging the same entry prices. The employees are very nice though.

The staff was friendly and helpful, the bathroom was clean, the animals were well taken care of. It wasnt crowded at all. The over all experience was better than most standard zoos Ive ever been to.

This place is 15 acres of many different species of rescued animals. You can pet and feed llamas, alpacas, sheep and goats. There is a small food truck with snow cones, pizza, hotdogs and snacks. Restrooms are clean. Well worth the price of admission.

It was a nice zoo with active animals. There was a train ride and lots of eating areas. Great place for kiddos. Staff was friendly. Recommend buying tickets online.

What a disappointment. We were easily expecting at least 3 hours. Got thru in 1 hour. Animals are in small cages. Very sad. No padded walkways. They are steep and Rocky. Not made for Assess-ability.if you have bad knees don’t even try to go. I’ve only experienced the Oklahoma zoo and Wichita zoo. So my expectations were set to much high standards for the animals.Response to Manager: if you are a nonprofit zoo then maybe change the name of the Zoo. To wildlife reserve. Zoo implies it is ran by the city county or state. Wildlife reserve implies a non profit organization.

Nice easy zoo. Only rescued animals makes it special.

Had a great family trip here. All animals have been taken to a better home and life away from their breeder or backstory. I liked it here because it was cheap and we had a great time in general. The train was a nice surprise at the end.

We drove over an hour and 1/2 to come to the zoo today. We don’t live here nor have never been here. When we entered we wanted to ride the train and were trying to find it. We saw some staff and decided to ask them and before we could even ask the lady says they is no smoking in the park. It’s not what she said but how she said it and I’m aware smoking isn’t allowed at any zoo. We get to the entrance and no hello or nothing just did you already get your tickets online once again very rude we all had on masks and the lady still said very rudely and make sure you keep it over your nose for the animals sake ok we got it the nicest person there was the train conductor. We saw very little animals bc it was so hot. My son and nephew both 2 years old were so excited on the car ride to get there and to see very little animals were very disappointed needless to say we won’t come back. The only reason I gave a 2 star was the train ride and the hospitality of the gentleman conducting the train

A nice rescue center that is called a zoo. This place only has rescued animals but they have a fair share of them including lions, tigers and bears (oh my). Its an affordable trip that gives you a parenting opportunity to talk about the purpose of that zoo versus other zoos.

Absolutely horrible im from Minnesota and I was in Texas for a vacation with my gf and 5 month old son and we decided to go to the zoo for a fun family experience that we havent seen before as we got in the zoo my gf and I instantly knew that most of the exhibits where way to small for the animals do not go to the Austin zoo if you care for animals there are many other zoos that are actually acredted and care for the animals and not mistreat the animals

Always have a great time at this zoo!! The keepers are very nice and tell you real interesting facts about the animals!! Kids have a great time Everytime!!

Went here with my 3 &1 year olds and it was just the best time ever. Getting to feed and pet some of the animals and seeing all of the others was just awesome. This tiny rescue zoo is perfect for kids. Sooooo happy we took the kids.

This zoo is AMAZING! You get to be extremely close to animals that are kept very far away at most zoos. Imagine being 3 feet from a black bear, lion, tiger, cougar, etc. You can walk up and feed llamas, deer, goats and more. All of this in a zoo that is a rescue zoo and is a non-profit organization. The only drawback for me was not knowing the animals stories. In a zoo that is a rescue zoo, I would like to know how/why each animal came there and where they originated.

Austin zoo is the best because its also a sanctuary. They never sell or buy animals for profit. The animals have a loving home here and are really taken care of. Missed the train last time but will be back soon when it cools down outside :)

Very nice. Great covid precautions.

ALL of the animals are rescue. If thats not enough, all of them are in their forever homes here. Bring good shoes and the kids! This is an excellent experience for the little ones. They also have a train that runs at the top of every hour. Its educational and just plain amazing.

One we only seen Birds and turtles!!! None of the animals bur we seen the signs on what the animal was lol. And I feel sad for them cause they could have Sprinkler system set up for them so they could cool down and be more happy.

We always enjoy a stroll in the park while seeing the great animals! I personally love the fact that most are rescued and not brought! Plus they have free stroller for small ones.

Very casual zoo, no bells and whistles but you get pretty close to animals. Peacocks walking everywhere. Closes at 5 though, so be sure to arrive early - it takes about an hour for a full tour, possibly more with children and stopping for food. Be sure to check out the capybaras, theyre really cute!

Came here for my friends kids birthday and it was super fabulous! I enjoy going to the zoo, this is a different type of zoo than most people are used too. The zoo is smaller than most, but its also more laid back and casual to me. It is more of a re-homing facility for animals who have a long back story. They are definitely doing good work here! All the animals seem to be enjoying their time and they are getting love. I think it is much different than a standard zoo but its also different in a good way. It is a non-profit and to me I think they are doing very good things for the animals and educating the children in our area. I noticed it might be difficult to get around for those who have strollers and or wheel chairs, they gravel is a little tough and there are some dips and holes, but I dont mind watching where I walk. I feel like they are spending the money on the right things. I think its a great place to take children! The birthday party pavilion was great! It was very cool in there and plenty of space. The staff was super friendly and helpful! If I had kids Id bring them back here often, Id probably even take guests who are animal lovers here to visit as well!The parking lot is not paved, but we didnt have issues coming in a car. Just something to keep in mind for those who have low cars, etc.

A few of the animals are cut off the path in the covid setup but theres a still a good bit to see and I like supporting them with a trip every few months.

This is more like a well kept exotic ranch then a zoo.

The Austin Zoo is a delightful rescue that houses a wide variety of both wild and domestic animals. You can walk around the facility and see lions and wolves or go to the petting zoo area where you can feed goats and sheep. I have gone many times because I enjoy the walk and being so close to the animals is something that many zoos no longer offer.However, I removed a star for the customer service. As a donor and patron of the Austin Zoo, I noticed that the restrooms could use an update. They are not well maintained, especially for people who bring small children and are looking for cleanliness in the womens restroom. I politely asked on Instagram if there are any future plans to upgrade the bathroom facilities and I was blocked. My inquiry was not offensive and I think visitors to the zoo should be able to ask these type of questions to a business they frequent quite often.The Austin Zoo should consider finding a new social media manager because blocking people who love the organization and want to see the animals on social media for simply asking a question is not good policy. I am disappointed that a page that has around four thousand followers would be so flippant in blocking those who truly support and donate as much as they can.

Many animals. We started with the barn animals. Fed the goats, alpacas, deer, and some sheep. It took us a little over two hours to go around the grounds. I did the mistake to wear flip flops. Best to wear sneakers because there is no pavement. Take insect repellent and drinking water. There are no drinking fountains. Plenty of picnic tables. Overall we had a nice time.

Awesome zoo in a neat location. Great variety of animals and there’s a train! Train costs extra but totally worth it. They decorate it for Halloween and probably some other holidays. Wasn’t very busy so we could take our time without having to worry about getting funneled through by other groups.

Definitely different type of zoo. First time going, kids loved feeding the animals, we have many pics and videos, priceless. One thing, wear tennis because the pathways are not made of cement.

Nice variety of animals and staff was very nice. Lots of peacocks roaming around and staff will try to warn children not to bother/chase them which I think is awesome. Kids will be kids but its not good for the birds if they are being harassed. Good job staff and overall enjoyable place to visit!

Having only ever experienced the hustle and bustle of big zoos, this was night and day better! Just more relaxed and family friendly. Kids loved the train ride. The cages are still cagey, but since the animals are all rescued and surrendered animals, that makes it far less depressing. We had a fabulous time and will be back! Especially loved feeding the goats and the free, roaming birds!

This was a really fun family trip to take the kids I was babysitting. We went in the morning as soon as it opened to beat some of the summer heat. For an adult and 2 kids (along with 1 bag of animal feed for each kid) it was $35. The zoo is well laid out and I love that they are a sanctuary for rescued animals. Make sure kiddos wear closed tied shoes (walking in dirt and rocks). Train ride was fun for kids but a lot of animals werent out because of the heat. This would be fun in the fall.

Kids loved seeing all the animals...zoo could really use funding for larger spaces to house lions, bears, and other animals... Lots of protesters today... Thanks to all caretakers who work so hard there & share their time and knowledge with visitors...

This was an amazing place! We are in town for a conference and drive out there this morning to visit and we loved it! When we are back in town we will definitely visit again. It only took us about an hour at the Zoo. If my child has been with us it would have taken longer!

Nice place but really small. You can walk the whole thing in about an hour. This zoo is rescue only so not all of the animals are in tip top shape. Felt bad for the big piggy that they had. All in all a nice place to bring the family just know what you’re getting yourself / family into before you come

Small zoo but very intimate experience with the animals. Would definitely go again.

This is a cute little zoo to take your kids to spend a couple of hours but every time we go, we see less and less animals. The cages are all far away and covered so it’s hard to see the animals, there is not a paved sidewalks so bring comfortable shoes and it’s not wheelchair friendly. Parking is also a dirt driveway but it’s big. You pay to feed some of the animals but last visit the bag was half of the size than the times before. The only fun thing to do was to feed and pet the goats and the llamas. Anything else was empty or unable to see the animal and it wasn’t even a hot day. They have a gift shop with cute merchandise and they’ve a food truck that sells hot dogs and shaved ice. They have an area with picnic tables. They have a little train that goes around the zoo but you’ve to pay extra $3 to ride it. But it’s cute and the kids like it.

The front counter staff was Amazing! My wife took me here to use my new camera. She had gone before and the paths were always close with limited distance restrictions. However, they seem to be changing that. The glass In the reptile house was dirty. The trashcans were full and surrounded by bees. The animals seemed very healthy and well maintained. I will likely give them another try come spring to see whats new. The worth here is feeding the animals as a family in the friendly part of the zoo.They are super friendly and love attention.

Nice little zoo, we can spend 2 hours with kids

Had a blast my son was able to name all animals

Small but fun packed! Animals are well taken care of. Definitely a hidden gem!

We loved this zoo! Its a nonprofit zoo, which is always a plus to us and they seem to take good care of their animals. I highly recommend feeding the Llamas, deer, goats and sheep! Super fun experience and inexpensive.

Such a n eww at zoo! You are fairly close to the animals and there is a decent variety of animals! This was a really great stop on our vacation! Everyone was friendly and informative at the gift shop and all the animals were active and happy!

If youre expecting a large zoo, like San Diego or Fort Worth youll be sorely disappointed. This is a rescue zoo, and its a good one. They have a pretty good variety, you can feed some of the animals, and they have a mini train ride around the zoo. A really great place for families with small kids.

We love the Austin Zoo! We are from out of town. When we visit my sister and brother in law, we always come to the zoo. And support there efforts in the care of the animals.
