Cameron Park Zoo, Waco

I love this zoo! It is really easy to spend an hour or an entire day in the zoo and not feel like you missed anything or ever get board. There is a wide variety of animals organized based on the areas they would be found and all of the exhibits highlight environmental and conservation issues facing those animals and areas. There is plenty of shade for hot days and a lot of places to sit down with play areas for kids as well as a cafe about halfway around the walk through the zoo of you need it. The animals are well provided for and cared for with notes from the zoo keeper and often there will be a zoo keeper walking around to answer questions if you have them, though not always.

The place was beautiful! Everything was well kept and the workers were sweet! This is a great place to go with children or just to get a nice walk near so many animals. The park is big so bring comfortable shoes. Maps are provided and there are several little stopping places to take a rest.

I LOVED it. The zoo is organized so well so that you're up close with the animals and not trying to see them from a far. It is well designed, easy to walk and filled with fun activities for the kids - from fun playgrounds, to music plates they can jump on and all the way to feeding the giraffes and sliding down a slide that goes through the otters pool. It's included in your Pogo pass too. :)

Great zoo! I drove up from Austin to check out this zoo and was pleasantly surprised! Beautiful animals and beautiful zoo! The animals were active and the layout of the zoo was nice. It was a quick trip from Austin and worth the drive. I would highly recommend this zoo to anyone!

Great place to visit right next to Cameron Park. They have a good variety of animals, and the facility is well-kept in general w/ a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. 4-stars because I think think there could be many more interactive elements than there are currently; a smaller zoo should harbor more in order to keep visitors engaged. Overall, there are many interesting sights on a walk that usually takes about an hour and a half to two hours to see everything at a leisurely pace.
