We weren't really sure what toe xpecet when we decided to visit this zoo. We enjoyed how many animals there were and how surprisingly big it was. We enjoyed seeing all the animals and how clean and well kept the zoo was. We recommend it to everyone. Feeding the giraffes was a very awesome experience. Wish we could've gotten more lettuce but it was nice anyways.

This zoo is small but mighty! I am always impressed with the great layout, nice enclosures, and animal variety this zoo offers. You can spend several hours here easily. Great for families or a fun date! My favorite area is Elm Creek Backyard, featuring native Texas wildlife. Definitely one of the gems Abilene has to offer!

Very nice employees. Fast services. Clean park. Definitely family friendly with good children interactions. When feeding the giraffes, they give direct instructions. The only problem we ran into was when we brought $10 tickets but all the birds but a select few were not in the zoo due to the bird flu. So that was upsetting since they didn’t have that anywhere.

Nice zoo and the animals looks good. The best part of the day was feeding the giraffes. My daughter enjoyed it very much. It is not very big zoo. So you can see all the animals in about two hours.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Lynn Gerber | Jul 2, 2021
Martha Santillan | Jul 3, 2021

For 12.00 each person you can feed the giraffes get a handful of leaves to feed the giraffes, And also for your $12 you get to tokens one is for the Carousel and when is for the train so it's for three things for12.00 for each.I know it's better to do the $12 package because to feed the giraffes is is 5dollars and there's other charge to go in if you do the 12 dollars it's to go in plus the 3things.

They're still required after the order was lifted, as some of the animals can contract Covid as well, and it can be deadlier for them.
