It has been a scorcher here in Texas! We are staying here while Dave works in the area. Since we are staying in the KOA, and we do not have a lot of room in our fifth wheel, I am always on the lookout for some fun things to do with my kids. This day we decided to head on out to the zoo in Austin.
If you are heading to the Austin Zoo, you should know it is not really stroller or wheelchair friendly. They do have free strollers to use while there, however the walkways are made of gravel. You may also want to wear closed toe shoes because of this.
We spent about an hour and a half walking around, and went to ride the train. We just missed it, and it runs about every hour. So you may want to look at the train schedule before you finish looking at all the animals.
Since this is an animal sanctuary, each animal has a sign on its cage with a little information about what it is, its name, and where it came from.
My 2 youngest LOVE LOVE LOVE animals. They loved everything about this zoo. We saw a tiger, which I thought was awesome! We saw some huge turtles. Unlike at home, my kids loved feeding these animals. They thought it was fun!
This zoo works completely on donations and entrance fees. My little kids loved the zoo, and they really loved feeding the animals. The zoo is small, but if you are in the area and looking for a couple of hours to wear your kids out, stop by!
