Enjoy activities that allow a more in-depth understanding of our animals and conservation activities, with up-close animal encounters, special activities for kids, and more.

Welcome to Cameron Zoo Park, the 52-acre 'oasis of natural wonder' sitting along the gorgeous Brazos River. First established in 1993, this zoo quickly became a leader in standards in animal care and management, providing the best training, nutrition, veterinary services, and life enrichment that they and the AZA (Association of Zoos and Aquariums) can give.

Inside the zoo your group will see over 1700 animals representing 300 different species. You can head to the Asian Forest to see the endangered Orangutan, Sumatran Tiger, or Komodo Dragon, then head to see Kai the lion. Other habitats/exhibits include Gibbon Island, Bald Eagle Habitat, South America, African Savanna, and Lemur Island.

We can schedule a group lunch for you at the onsite Plaza Cafe or Treetop Cafe, making your trip a bit easier. If you are traveling with younger kids be aware of Grammy Nell's Playground and splash area, as well!

Check out these awesome resources from the zoo, teachers!
