About Cypress Zoo

The Cypress Zoo, nestled within the charming Cypress Black Bayou Park, first opened its doors in 1998 as a humble petting zoo. Today, it has blossomed into a sprawling 7-acre haven home to over 30 diverse species from across the nation. What makes Cypress Zoo truly unique is its dual role as a wildlife rehabilitation center. This means that your visit is not just about enjoying the sights and sounds of fascinating animals, but also about witnessing firsthand the compassionate care provided to creatures in need.

The dedicated staff at Cypress Zoo have made it their mission to rescue animals who have faced unfortunate circumstances, whether they have been injured by vehicles, affected by natural disasters, or left orphaned. The zoo offers a safe refuge where these animals can recover and thrive. It's a heartwarming experience for children too, as they learn not only about the animals themselves but also about the importance of compassion and conservation in our shared world.

Located within the lush expanse of Cypress Black Bayou Park, your day out offers more than just animal encounters. Don your hiking boots and explore scenic trails, or try your hand at fishing in the park’s serene waters. The nature center is a treasure trove of information, offering insights into the environment and the wildlife that call it home. And if you fancy a splash, there's even a beach for some fun under the sun!

So pack a picnic, bring your curiosity, and prepare for a day filled with discovery and inspiration at Cypress Zoo. Each animal has a unique story, and your visit helps support their journey to a happier, healthier life.
