The zoo has a great range of animals and exhibits and the grounds are well kept and spacious. There's lots of shade to keep you somewhat cool during those hot Texan summer months if you visit during that time frame. The animal enclosures are nice, and can really give you great views of the animals themselves if you are a bit patient. This also makes for great photo views, as shown here with this photo of an approaching jaguar. Food and snack prices are also very reasonable, as are prices for souvenirs. This zoo makes for a great day out for the family.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/286/b52f738b-864b-4a27-a083-5c59c0217a99.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Cameron Park Zoo 1 min walk \- 0.1 km - ![First bridge across the Brazos River.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/286/dff0cb1e-04ed-4638-8c16-d4407df41d36.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Brazos Park East 2 min drive \- 2.3 km - ![The city comes alive at night. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/286/130d7bd2-9b44-4df2-9c92-702c9c02a0b0.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Waco Convention Center 3 min drive \- 1.9 km - ![Dr Pepper Museum](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6125643/485b10f1-7f92-4176-a1d0-99b82c71bf10.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Dr. Pepper Museum 4 min drive \- 2.7 km - ![Aerial view of the Magnolia Silos in Waco, Texas USA](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248633860253250/8cf2bfc9-6e4c-4b22-92b4-00b5da981591.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Magnolia Market at the Silos 5 min drive \- 3.0 km ### Getting around - McGregor Station 25 min drive - Waco, TX (ACT-Waco Regional) 11 min drive ### Restaurants - Slow Rise Slice House 2 min drive - Dubl-R Old Fashioned Hamburgers 2 min drive - San Diego's 3 min drive - Kitok Restaurant 3 min drive - Baked Bliss Baking Company 3 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Does New & Downtown!

Dec 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Waco’s Best Was absolutely amazing the home is incredible. Very spacious clean and as advertised. Very high end finishes and overall design. The large fenced in area was great for our little guy. Would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting. Driveway is very steep and will most likely drag on low setting vehicles. If you know you have one park on the street. Other than that couldn’t ask for a better place to bring the family. Walk across the street to the zoo or less than 2 miles to the silos and everything else. ##### Austin K. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### angela l.
