Our first visit to The Texas Zoo was during a school field trip. They opened promptly at 10, and the payment process was smooth, especially with the convenience of Apple Pay. Upon entry, the gift shop caught our eye, but it could benefit from a...Read More

Nice little zoo to take a stroll...This zoo is in center of the park which has acres and acres of grass and trees. The zoo itself is fairly small but very nice for a stroll with several large trees to provide shade on the walk...Read More

Sometimes I just open up the Googles and find a city on the map I've never been too, and then look to see what their claim to fame is. And that's how we ended up at the Texas Zoo in Victoria, TX. Tiny place, but...Read More

At first glance, the zoo looks tiny from the outside; once you are actually inside, it is not that small.There is a decent variety of animals here. Could be better, but it was worth it. There were no lines outside, we got in fast and...Read More

Photos here are of the Haunted Zoo! It's a lot of fun and pretty scary for a small town event, and lots of participants in costumes and props. Sound effects, foggers, and fun! I volunteered as a zombie in a black robe, and...Read More

This place definitely needs some TLC from the maintenance department. Completely run down and no water or fans for the animals. Watch out as there is poison ivy/oak all over the place.Definitely not what it used to be. Animals need to be better cared for.

Small place with a BIG heart! Loved it. Took my 15, 9, and 2 yr olds. They enjoyed the roaming peacocks, took photos with them, sat with them and fed them, and loved feeding the deer. It was hot...Read More

What animals we did see were pretty cool. I'd say we got to see Mayne 50% of the inhabitants but still paid full price.Place is tiny and relatively maintained well.

The staff are friendly. This is a tiny zoo and I know others have left poor reviews but some of these animals are rescue and that takes funds to stay open. I would go here again if I found myself in Victoria again. If those...Read More

This zoo is quite small, but it’s still a wonderful place to visit! It’s nothing grand like the Houston zoo, where you’ll have to plan the entire day to see all the animals. You can probably be done in an hour and have seen everything.But...Read More

Fixed up nice since the flood. We like the new set up. The cages that hold rabbits you can feed. You can purchase lettuce in the store. You can also pet them at times when a handler brings one out. The train no longer...Read More

Was a wonderful experience! I loved the animals. However every enclosure had water in it expect for the bear encloser. They were licking the water line that would normally give them water I assume and seemed quite upset they had no water. They also didn't...Read More

We always have so much fun here! It's a small zoo but the experience is so great! There is animal food pellet dispensers thru the zoo to be able to feed the ducks and peacocks. Do wish they were part of AZA so we could...Read More

Please do not support this zoo. The animals have ZERO enrichment in their enclosures. All plant life is so dead it would make your feet bleed to walk on. The poor jaguars and bears have no enrichment, little to no water in the enclosures (...Read More

Great small zoo. You won't find the animals you would at the Houston Zoo or San Antonio zoo but it's great to see your kids eyes light up at the bear or petting a skunk. Plus it's for a good cause. I pay for the...Read More

To me the Victoria Zoo at Riverside Park is as good as it’s going to get in the 361 area! They’ve got Jags, a bear, snakes, lemurs, hawks, a beautiful eagle and more. If they could get a toucan and more rainforest feels it would...Read More

March 11, 2024It was a beautiful day to visit the zoo. We visited around 1pm. The zoo was not super busy being it was spring break. All of the animals were in action today. The bears were playing together, the tamarin monkeys were out and...Read More

Extremely small zoo. However, everyone was super sweet. The guy at the ticket booth was super nice and informative. We actually called on Christmas Day and they answered. We drove 3 hours to see the foxes the next day for my daughter. One of the...Read More

Cute little zoo, but currently very clearly under long-time construction in various places. The zookeepers are its heart. They are knowledgeable about the animals and ready to share-- you can tell they care deeply about the animals.But it is hard to ignore the obvious. The...Read More

The animals seem MISERABLE. The park is very poorly kept and needs maintenance. This COULD be a really great place if someone were to step up or step in and give it some love. My 5 clear old was so sad he cried over how...Read More

We went there at 9:30 in the morning before it got too hot but you could tell most of the animals were miserable. It’s too hot for them at 930 I can’t even imagine how it was for them durning the the day. All day...Read More

Horrible excuse for a zoo. Every cage/ enclosure was dirty and smelled like they don't keep up with them. The poor animals look depressed. Some were missing from their enclosures. You will get rained on with pollen if you go into the duck area. We...Read More

They have made some improvements from when we were last there a few yrs ago and created a new indoor area with more new animals. However, not very much to see for such expensive tickets.I have to agree with many of the others reviews; ...Read More

Honestly felt bad for the animals. Looked more like a dump. No grass with the deer or donkeys. Boa had cyst on tail. Which is shedding and has a tight band on. I don't know but the animals looked sad as well. You could feel...Read More

Small, but worth the close interaction with the animals. Kids had fun feeding large bunnies and peacocks. Alligators, bears, wolf, and jaguars were the highlight for me since the barriers are so close up. The only reason it was not a 5 star is...Read More
