Beautiful zoo! Very well kept. We were able to get through the zoo (adults without kids) in 2 hours. I liked how to at this zoo the views of the animals were up close and the way the enclosures are designed gives good viewings of the animals (vs at some zoos it's really difficult to see/find the animals). There's a nice area to sit (and eat) that overlooks the giraffe and elephant area. Would definitely come by again when in the area.
The vision of this place is wonderful. It's as if you were truly in their element. I loved it and will hopefully get to go again soon. They do have a very nice food court with options for all. The gift shop is very nice as well. Over all, very well kept and the animals are thankful as well.
This is a true gem. This is one of the nicest zoos that we have ever been to visit. The place is set up very well and it is easy to navigate all three of the areas that make up the zoo. The animals seem to be well cared for and have ample area to roam in, more like a natural habitat than in most zoos, where they seem more like exhibits. This allows them to be themselves, and it is a great sight to see. The landscaping is excellent, easily one of the best jobs anywhere. The entire zoo is awash in colour so vivid that in some walkways the landscaping is the attraction and complements the areas splendidly. The concessions are well placed and decently priced, with friendly staff and a very clean area. There is even an opportunity to feed the giraffes if you are just a bit adventurous. The entire zoo seems to encourage appreciation of the animals and their habitats with an emphasis on education and conservation. The prices for everything from admission to concessions to souvenirs are very reasonable and are a great value for the price. I, and we, would highly recommend this zoo above many others to visit both for the diversity of wildlife and for the beautiful landscaping. This is a definite gem - don't overlook this, treasure it.
The zoo is small, but nice. Lots to interact with. There's a spot where you can feed birds, another where you can feed the giraffes. So much to see, my family and I really enjoyed our visit.
We had a nice time. The petting zoo with the goats & sand play area was fun for the kids. The giraffes are beautiful. It only took us 2 hours to see everything & For the 7 of us it was over 100$. We love the animals though so it was worth it:)
Last Tuesday in May and it was a great time to visit at around 12. We ended up staying for 3 hours with 2 adults and a kindergartener. Displays were engaging and most all animals were able to be viewed. Place was well maintained and the staff were friendly. We spent the most time feeding the cockatiels and parakeets. The $47 entrance fee was not bad for 3 of us for 3 hours of entertainment. Parking was plentiful and easy. 5 out of seven stars for a perfect score. We will return.
Go in the morning as animals are active and there is less people. Wonderful time and the souvenir shop has a lot of cool items. This is probably the best time I’ve had at a zoo.
Love love love this zoo! So many great animals and it’s an East Texas staple!
The cheetahs are so cool and we got to feed a giraffe!
We even got to watch the two hand raised Chilean go for a walk!
