If you want to take your kids to see some exotic animals, the 35-acre El Paso Zoo is a fantastic choice. Despite being smaller than some other zoos in Texas, it's home to well over 200 different species, including the endangered Amur leopard and Mexican gray wolves. The animals are divided into three main areas: Africa, Asia, and the Americas, and sea lion shows, giraffe encounters, and other animal-related events are held all throughout the week. During the Christmas season, there's also a special Santa display complete with live entertainment, fluffy white snow, and holiday-themed craft projects.
