About
Nestled in the scenic beauty of the Hill Country, Austin Zoo is a beacon of compassion and care. Our mission is to assist animals in need through rescue, conservation, and education. Unlike conventional zoos, each of our animals has a unique story that reflects our dedication to their welfare. As the only Zoological Association of America (ZAA) accredited zoo in the Austin area, we are committed to serving our community and connecting families with nature. We offer family-friendly events, animal rescue initiatives, and educational programs for all ages to foster a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world. With over 300 animals representing more than 100 species, Austin Zoo provides endless opportunities for discovery.
