The Capital of Texas Zoo is one of Greater Austin's and Bastrop's most exciting animal adventures. Just 20 minutes east from downtown Austin, the Zoo is home to over 500 rare and beautiful wild animals.
LATER HOURS starting Memorial Day through Labor Day
Open Fridays and Saturdays until 10:00PM
Hear a lion ROAR, a peacock call and all the rustling and moving creatures who call the night home, right here at the Capital of Texas Zoo!
Visiting the Zoo during the cool of the summer evening is well worth the trip. Our lion starts roaring ever night as the sun goes down. Many of our animals are much more active, and interactive, at night. (BRING YOUR FLASHLIGHT!)
FIRST TIME VISITORS, PLEASE READ.
The Capital of Texas Zoo is the largest and fastest growing zoo in Central Texas. We have over 400 family members who buy a yearly membership so they can visit us numerous times throughout the year.
If you check the review sites, you will find some good reviews, and some bad reviews. When our members first found out about the bad reviews, they became upset, and many of them attempted to place reviews telling how much they love our little zoo, with little or no success.
As some of you may know, the algorithms and methods used by some of the largest of these sites, and of one of the largest in particular, make it VERY easy to post a bad review, and almost impossible to post a good one.
We have reason to suspect we have mainly been receiving bad reviews from two places: one of our competitors, and from a number of animal rights extremists, who don't believe there should be ANY zoos.
Our zoo is small compared to places like San Antonio or Houston, but we are a pretty, intimate little place with happy, healthy animals. We have breeding programs for fourteen endangered species here, and this is our main reason for existing. Most people love us. Give us a chance, and I predict you will love us, too.
The Zoo's twin missions include Wildlife Education and Conservation of Endangered Species. Small and intimate, Capital of Texas Zoo is one of Austin area's most unique experiences!
Come see our leopard cubs. 1st Black Leopard cubs in Texas in 25 years!
