Hi there Nice to meet you

A small zoo, not a lot to offer but spaced out. The fish aquariums were very disappointing. The lack of care and cleaning, corals visibly appear damaged, and dying, which is heartbreaking. The filth in the tanks and on the glass. Corals are very important to the ecosystem. I've visited massive zoos with more species that take better care of the massive enclosures. Something needs to be done for these animals, absolutely unacceptable.

I love coming here and experiencing the exhibits and viewing the animals. Sometimes the vultures are a bit much and it looks like the savannah animals are uncomfortable with so many of them. The food is reasonably priced and plentiful. And the tickets were relatively cheap compared to larger zoos. This is my local go-to zoo to walk around when I'm not going on runs through the park/trails of Cameron park. There was a bit of a wait at the entrance since we were there at exactly opening and the card readers went down and was spotty all day, which wasn't a problem for me but left our entrance wait at about 15 to 20 minutes instead of the usual 5 to 10.

This is a small zoo, but it still has a wide selection of exotic wildlife to see. If you find yourself in Waco, TX, it is definitely worth checking out.

This was a great zoo! It’s not very large but has a lot of variety of animals. Was a great size for our family with 3 young children. They loved the day here!

Not a fan of caged animals but it was quite interesting to see them moving about and engaging. The kids were excited to learn about the different animals. Pretty cool

For a town the size of Waco, I was very much impressed by the size, variety of animals, and quality of facilities at this zoo. I am avid zoo goer, so you can trust me when I say this is worth your time. I was surprised to find an abundant display of both reptiles and aquatic animals in addition to the normal zoo fair, such as tigers, Bob cats, lions, elephants, etc.

We love our zoo and CANNOT WAIT for the Penguin Attraction. Cameron Park Zoo can we please have meet the penguin opportunities?Buy tickets if you can in advance if you can but be sure they are downloaded or emailed to you before you enter.They have a great playground area, there are several opportunities to find shade, and 99% of the animals prefer Texas to their country of origin. ;)

You'd have to be crazy to go to a zoo in Texas in summer right?Not at all if you go to Cameron Park zoo. This place is built to bust the heat. The covered walkways create the perfect shade as you walk along. There are plenty of COLD water stations along the way to quench your thirst and refill your water bottles. The exhibits are also a mix of indoor air conditioned spaces and outdoor spaces. Walk outdoors a bit and just when you're getting hot, there's an indoor exhibit with a water station and clean bathrooms.The exhibits and habitats were all well maintained and the animals seemed well taken care of. You could get really close to some of the animals here. There's a really good mix of native animals and others from around the world to enjoy.They're doing a bunch of upgrades around the property, lemur Island was closed and the new penguin exhibit wasn't open yet, but it looks really fun. We ordered food at the cafe for lunch and it was better than expected. The staff was friendly and active taking care of the facility.

What an incredible zoo. I didn't know what to expect since it is a bit smaller town. It is so well kept and taken care of. All the animals seemed very well kept, they were very active and had quite large habitats. We got to see the African elephant come down to the water area right in front of the fence and take a bath, spent about 30 minutes with the orangutan because they came and sat right in front of me and followed be around to different parts, and really looking forward to the new penguin exhibit they are building.

I recently visited Cameron Zoo, and it was a wonderful experience. The presence of African animals added an exotic touch to the zoo, creating a unique and engaging atmosphere. The facility was impeccably clean, enhancing the overall enjoyment of our visit. My daughters particularly loved walking through the zoo, and the highlight for them was discovering a slide inside the otters' tank. It brought immense joy to see them having a blast interacting with the playful otters. Cameron Zoo is a fantastic place for families to explore and create lasting memories.
