Capital of Texas Zoo is an intimate, year-round wildlife facility located in Cedar Creek, Texas, in Bastrop County, east of Austin. The zoo is dedicated to breeding programs for fourteen endangered species and offers a range of interactive animal experiences that set it apart from larger facilities. Signature attractions include the popular Swim with Otters encounter, the chance to meet Tank, a 4,000-pound hippo, and interactive sessions with lemurs, dingoes, kangaroos, and crocodiles. Families can feed and pet animals throughout the grounds, and the zoo hosts field trips, birthday parties, and traveling animal shows featuring both exotic and farm animals. A junior keeper volunteer program and conservation-focused education make it an engaging and meaningful destination for wildlife enthusiasts of all ages.
