    Great zoo! Not too big. You can get through everything in under 2 hours. Exhibits are small and close to visitors. Lots of shade and benches to relax at.

    GREAT zoo for kids!! Educational and experiential. Very well laid out. Alternates btw inside and outside exhibits so you don't overheat even on hot days! Don't miss the otter slide or the splash area!

    This zoo is an awesome, affordable family destination close to downtown Waco. We really enjoyed our afternoon with our little baby at the zoo!

    I do believe this is by far the best zoo I've been to. Really pretty lots of shade and we'll thought out.

    Make sure the Tree Top concession is open before you walk all the way up there...very disappointed in that.
