Come See The Animals

Lions! Tigers! Peacocks! Macaws! The Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary has it all, once of the best places in Texas to see animals who are getting a new lease on life. It’s the perfect place for families to spend the entire day. You’ll see animals up close and personal. Your little ones may even get to pet some of them! And best of all, you will learn about our animal brothers.

More Than A Traditional Zoo

But wait! Austin Zoo is not just a normal zoo! It’s a sanctuary for rescued animals, ones how may have been any combination of neglected, abused, or misused. These animals are here where they can receive the care they need until they are ready to be reintroduced back into the wild or transferred to a more traditional zoo. Each of the animals there has their own unique story, and every time a new animal is added in, so is a new story.

Bring the Whole Family

Children should be exposed to animals and learn of them, and the Austin Zoo is the perfect place for that. By not only seeing the animals up close, and learning about them, but also learning of how they are just as vulnerable as we are, children will grow up with a healthy respect and love for all members of the animal kingdom.
