Sitting on a 52-acre property right next to the beautiful Brazos River, the Cameron Park Zoo displays more than 300 species of animals in their natural habitat. Many of the lush exhibits feature beautiful waterfalls and picturesque ponds, but the real attraction is the animals, which come from all over the world and include everything from jaguars to Komodo dragons.

The exhibits are themed by region, and highlights include an Asian forest filled with orangutans and Sumatran tigers, a large lemur habitat known as Lemur Island, and a massive saltwater aquarium filled with native Texan marine life.
