It's all happening at the El Paso Zoo, a thriving center for education and fun, where visitors can view more than 250 species of animals, learn about their natural habitats, and discover how to preserve endangered species for future generations. The 35-acre zoo boasts a variety of natural habitats to explore. Exhibits include a Reptile House, South American Pavilion, Americas Aviary, Cisneros Paraje, Birds of Prey, Forest Atrium, Asian Grasslands and an Elephant Complex. In all, there are 500 mammals, reptiles and birds, 100 fish and 250 invertebrates. Other fun activities include a carousel, food court and gift shop.
The majestic mountains surrounding El Paso have earned a six-week festival, known as "Celebration of our Mountains." Events usually begin in October and include bird watching, nature hikes and drives, mountain biking and bat watches. There's even a "Coffee, hot chocolate, muffins, and the tramway" event.
