It is so very sad. Pacing animals are on the process of going insane. Does no one care? They need freedom. They should be in a wild animal sanctuary. Animals are in jail with unnatural surroundings. Wish they could be rescued. Heartbreak.

What a great little zoo. The animals were active; the staff were roving around and engaged; inquires were answered with enthusiasm and a smile. Giraffe feeding area was fun to watch, those long tongues! Flamingo were sitting on mud nests; others were very active. Ocelots were roaming, purring, growling and even touched noses. in the retile house the snakes were... More

Small for most Zoos but enjoyed it. Staff was not all that friendly. Needed more animals. Not a lot to say enjoyed he giraffes and being able to pet them.

The indoor areas provide a nice escape from the heat of West Texas. The Catclaw Creek area is impressive because it teaches children about the animals native to... More

During a recent trip to Abilene my wife and I enjoyed a day at the Zoo... really well laid out and lots of variety.. A most enjoyable day

This zoo is not very large, but it is very clean, open and has a good amount of exhibits. The cost is very cheap compared to most city zoos we visit. The animals were all easily seen and active. Feeding the giraffes is the highlight and they have done a great job of limiting to only 2 food tokens per... More

Several parts are closed or animals are off exhibit because of construction on a new "Caribbean" themed section. Today was a great day for animal activity because it has warmed up some. This was the largest crowd I've seen at the zoo today, probably because of spring break and great weather. Updates at the zoo are making this a really... More
