Lions … Tigers … and Servals? What’s a Serval? Take a walk on the wild side at the Austin Zoo and learn more about them and other mammals, primates, reptiles, amphibians, and domestic animals. Get up close and personal with deers, goats, llamas, sheep, ostriches, alpacas, peacocks, and visit over 350 animals for a native Texas wildlife family experience you won't soon forget. While you’re there, enjoy a pony and train ride. What started out as a goat ranch that housed pigs, deer, donkeys, ponies, and a few exotic animals blossomed into a full-fledged non-profit rescue zoo that assists animals in need through rescue, rehabilitation and education, now representing more than 100 different species, each with their own rescue story to tell.
Play the oldest golf course in the state of Texas, the Hancock Golf Course. Established in 1899, the course is located in the heart of downtown Austin and is a perennial favorite among locals. The fast, 9-hole course looks simple, but the dog legs and tricky opening hole are anything but. The tranquil Waller Creek meanders through the course.
