Austin Zoo
About
10808 Rawhide Trail, Austin, TX 78736, USA Get directions
Austin Zoo in southwest Austin is a nonprofit rescue-focused zoo, so the feel is a little more low-key and personal than a big-city zoo, with shaded paths, a mix of rescued animals, and a small train ride that families usually notice right away. It’s a good fit if you want an easy outing with kids, but go expecting a modest hillside layout rather than a sprawling all-day attraction, and note that it keeps relatively short daytime hours.

Austin Aquarium
Austin
Austin Aquarium is an interactive indoor attraction in a strip-mall setting off US-183, where the first thing many visitors notice is how hands-on it is, with touch tanks and opportunities to feed animals rather than just look through glass. It’s an easy family stop for a couple of hours, but it helps to know there are usually extra charges for some animal encounters.
