Review of Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuar...

We love visiting the Austin Zoo! It's a rescue zoo...

We love visiting the Austin Zoo! It's a rescue zoo, meaning the animals at this zoo were either found in bad situations or were otherwise surrendered and in need of a forever home. We visited this morning and my young kiddos especially loved the monkeys, peacocks, tortoises, lions, tigers, bears, and parrots. We appreciated the measures that the zoo is taking for safety during these Covid-19 times (masks for everyone 2+, hand sanitizer and hand washing stations, efforts to reduce touch surfaces, etc.). There's also a train ride for kids, and an area to feed goats, and they have various food trucks on-site. It's a fun afternoon!
