Austin Zoo

The Austin Zoo, formerly Good Day Ranch, gives kids a chance to see and touch those furry little animals they read about in books. It used to be that children grew up with more opportunities to learn first-hand about animals, but as society becomes more urban, places like the Austin Zoo are about their only chance to ride a pony, feed a goat, or pet a pig.
