The Austin Zoo is a great place to take younger children. You can walk the entire zoo in under 2 hours. The trails are mainly unpaved and there are some slight hills, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Don't miss the train ride for $2.50 a person and the bags for feed for $2. The best time to come is in the mornings when the animals are the most active. This morning we enjoyed watching the three new bear cubs play. This is a great place to learn about animal rescue. Once we brought in donations of toys for the animals and saw them immediately put to use!
