Capital of Texas Zoo 376 Jenkins Road, Cedar Creek, TX 78612

"My family fed a hippo some hay for $10 a person! They make having a unique animal encounter attainable for all guests, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend you visit and choose your animal encounters ahead of time. It wasn’t busy. It was easy to see all the animals. There are picnic tables in a pavilion if you want to bring your lunch. We brought our wagon and it would have been easier to navigate without it but the toddler did get tired. It was a very peaceful and enjoyable experience. We’ll be back to feed more animals."

"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 of love for the animals. The zoo can really use a total redesign including the cages, the pathways, and the graphic design of the signage. The owner told us some very interesting facts about the animals which we would never know if we did not meet him by chance. The price is a little bit high in my opinion but since it goes to the rescued animals, it's not so bad. I liked the Prairie dogs that are all over the park and in all of the cages. The zoo has a ton of potential because it has interesting animals and the location is beautiful. I am still giving 5 stars because I enjoyed it and it was an overall great experience for my 4 year old."

"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."

"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."
