A nice rescue zoo a short drive from downtown ATX.

This zoo isn't extremely big or fancy, but you can tell they care about the animals. The animals are taken in from bad situations and rehabilitated and cared for.

The exhibits have educational material about the species of animals, but also about each individual animals situation and how they ended up being cared for by the zoo.

This is a much different experience than a big zoo, it's a lot quieter and less crowded if that's what you are looking for. It's also kind cheated more affordable than a big zoo. You can easily see the whole zoo in an hour, but if you take your time there's plenty to do for a couple of hours.
