Cameron: Cameron Park Zoo
built 813 days ago
The Cameron Park Zoo is an award-winning natural-habitat zoo that has lush native vegetation everywhere, including native pecan, live oak, and red oak trees. Natural shelters, barriers, and water features enhance the different exhibits, making visitors feel they are walking in a park that just happens to have exotic wild animals.

In the Cameron Park Zoo visitors will see tortoises from the Galapagos Islands, birds from Africa, and a lion cub —it's a boy, by the way! The Herpetarium takes visitors into a world of waterfalls and crocodiles and spiders and plants—all colorfully and thoroughly explained by educational plaques throughout the exhibit.

Cameron Park Zoo's play areas are a favorite with kids of all ages. They can run across wooden bridges, frolic in a fountain to cool off from the Texas heat, crawl through a giant snake, and take in the view from a treehouse.
