About Abilene Zoo

The Abilene Zoo is a wildlife attraction where visitors encounter animals across diverse habitats and participate in interactive experiences. A typical visit includes walking through zoo grounds to observe ring-tailed lemurs, meerkats, lions, swans, bullfrogs and other species. Guests can feed giraffes during designated times, ride a carousel and board a train that loops through the park. The zoo operates daily with extended hours on weekends and school holidays. Up-close tours offer behind-the-scenes access to animals. The facility hosts seasonal events and celebrations throughout the year. Birthday parties at the zoo include room rental, animal encounters and optional décor packages. Field trips, summer camps, teen programs and education classes serve school groups and learners of all ages. The zoo also accommodates corporate events, holiday parties, weddings and private gatherings in rental spaces including outdoor pavilions and classrooms. Admission tickets are sold online through the zoo's website. Located in Abilene, Texas, the zoo operates as a nonprofit organization dedicated to animal care and conservation education.
