The last half mile of the road into this place consists of large gravel. It is out in the country. It reminds me of a wild-animal farm. There were two workers there when we arrived. The pathways to see the animals are dirt and I recommend bug repellant on exposed legs. The animals are well-protected as are the visitors, but many of the fences are old. They have some unique animals and birds, and there are lots of wild birds flying around. It took us about an hour to see the entire zoo, taking our time reading the descriptions.

Had a blast this morning at Capital of Texas Zoo! The owner Michael was very knowledgeable. The junior volunteers and staff were so nice. Such a cool intimate zoo experience. This was truly unforgettable not your average trip to the zoo 🤣. Come out and support this amazing non profit!

SHOCKING THIS IS LEGAL IN 2023?!?!?! This is an atrocity! Home made “cages” are way too small. EVERY animal looked horribly sad. Concrete “pool” with exposed rebar for a hippo? NEVER NEVER NEVER I overheard one employee discussing selling exotic animals?! Yikes. Stay away. Be warned. It will make your kids cry.

I enjoyed the zoo very much. I recommend coming when the weather is mild because I don't think it would be as enjoyable in the heat. The animals look very well taken care of. We met the owner and it is clearly something he enjoys doing out …

A really enjoyable experience. Don't come expecting something akin to larger zoos like the Houston or SA zoo. This zoo is much smaller and definitely doesn't have access to the funds that larger zoos have. This does not mean it is not an …

We take our 3rd graders to the zoo. They had the opportunity to ride the safari tram. It was a short trip but, very informative and they had the chance to hand feed some animals. We visited three stations. It is all very rustic but fun!!!

We've been going for almost ten years, just an amazing place. They truly love and care for the animals. Don't listen to the one star reviews, they are lies. These animals are happy and healthy. The owner takes excellent care of them and has …

Quiet little privately owned zoo collection. Looks like this place has seen better days. Many of the exhibit enclosures are run down. Some of the animals seem lonely and withdrawn. However many of the animals looked to be well cared for.

This is a backyard zoo. We had to honk our horn to get checked in. There were no crowds. They have monkeys, tigers, bears, black panthers, birds, hippo and others. …

The workers are very friendly and have time to talk and explain, even give you details on animals without you asking sometimes. 😊 The Hippo is mostly in his water, we never saw the Rhino or the Otters (a big disappointment). Love love love …
