The zoo is divided into three main sections: Wilds of Africa, a 25-acre tract featuring the six major African habitats; ZooNorth, which includes Bug U (a very creepy tribute to Texas’ invertebrates, from cockroaches to brown recluse spiders); and the Lacerte Family Children’s Zoo, which offers pony rides, storytimes, and animal encounters.
