We have been to the Austin Zoo so many times over the last few years. I use to wish we had one more like the ones in San Antonio or Dallas. But I have really come to appreciate the Austin Zoo. They don't breed or buy the animals they have but they are ones that were abandoned or hurt. They take them in and restore them to their original health and give them a good home in their zoo. It may be a bit small with lemurs, monkeys, cougars and bears. But it is almost perfect for my little ones who can only take a certain amount of time in the heat or walking! The train there is one of our favorite parts of the zoo and the thing my kids look forward to most. It takes a trip around the zoo in the middle of all the brush and hill country. Austin zoo is and will always be a family favorite!
