The Texas Zoo

We arrived at the advertised opening time of 9 only to be told they now open at 10 for winter hours despite being summer...ok. The zoo is very small. There is a small indoor section with a few rats, rabbits, a snake, a turtle and not much else. Outside there were more exhibits but either the exhibits were closed or the animals were already hiding from the heat. I did like the hawk and the whistling duck. The small walkways near the emu were closed and all in all there wasn't much there to see. You won't spend more that 35 minutes here. The parking was a small lot and was near the Pumphouse which was nice

A decent small town zoo. Not a fan of the quarters for the animals at my last visit. Small children are fascinated, but, not really a great zoo for older children, teens or adults. Zoo floods whenever the river rises and I'm sure it takes a lot to keep it in any kind of shape.

They advertised a winter wonderland and charged money to enter. Only to see The bare minimum of a single strand Christmas light. Didn't have the lights on in the cages to see the animals. There was no train even though it was advertised. The maintenance of the zoo was trash and the animals cages were poorly maintained. Sad. We spent 30 mins to drive there and 5 min to see a whole lot of NOTHING.

Not too expensive and a cute little zoo. Larger then what we expected for sure! Pretty exhibits and a nice variety of different animals :)

Absolutely loved visiting ! It's was not too busy, staff was knowledgeable and able to inform us why a quail and chicken were housed with rabbits, that all animal are rescues from either captivity or rehabbed but unable to be released into the wild. We were able to see animals much closer than a large zoo and the variety was better than that of the Snake Farm in New Braunfels. Highly recommend ! Only regret is not taking part of the animal encounters!

We loved this little zoo. We fell in love with the bunnies as soon as we walked in. There were lots of unusual animals that we very much enjoyed seeing. We will definitely recommend this zoo to others!

Visiting grandparents for an early thanksgiving treat, I have a 2 year old who loves animals! Heard about this place and decided to come check it out! It is small but big enough especially coming in on a Thursday it wasn't packed. Bought 2 bags of animal feed to feed some animals and lettuce. My only complaint was $1 per leaf of Romain, honestly had such a great time feeding the goats peacocks and their gorgeous ostrich. I think we will come again before our flight leaves!

You have to go into this place with an open mind, with no expectation of a real zoo. Think of this place as a birthday party petting zoo, minus the petting. Other than the Zebra and a couple of monkeys, not you typical animals from a regular zoo. The animal enclosures are poorly kept and seemed to lack the appropriate amount of space needed for some be of these animals. Not too expensive but still too much for what you get in return.

I would not want to be an animal at this zoo. The enclosures were poorly kept as well as general maintenance of the place. Much like the entire city of Victoria, TX. I wouldn't want to live there either. No offense to anyone who does. The park outside of the Zoo looked more inviting. I did like the free roaming birds, though.There was an entire section of zoo that was blocked off... kinda wondering what was back there.

This Zoo was so fun for my whole family. The peacocks roam free so it was very different and exciting. The staff was really friendly and informative. They have a wide variety of animals as well. We spent 3 hours here only looking at animals. It was very well shaded so even in 90° we could enjoy being outside. There was also tables and picnic tables inside the zoo to eat as well.
