Frank Buck Zoo
Gainesville

An easy to navigate, stroller & wheelchair accessible path provides visitors with close viewing of animals from a safe distance.

Your Safari begins amidst the chattering of tamarin monkeys & parrots, stop and say G’day to the kangaroo, as you make your way to the elevated walkway to experience a “giraffe’s eye-view” of our African Savannah. Don’t miss the opportunity to feed the giraffe (10:30am daily weather permitting). Feed friendly goats in the petting zoo, see many Lone Star native animals up close, visit with volunteers and keepers staff each weekend to learn more about the zoo’s animal family.

For reservations to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion call (940-668-4539). Discover a special find at the Frank Buck Trading Post. Learn about the life and times of Frank “Bring Em’ Back Alive” Buck, pioneer of American zoo collections at the World’s Only Frank Buck exhibit.
