We can’t be the only ones who used to watch Steve Irwin and dream of meeting all the exotic creatures he interacted with. Lucky for us, there’s a place right here in Texas to do just that. TGR Exotics Wildlife Park in Spring has the widest array of exotic and endangered animals in the state. Aardvarks, kangaroos, vultures, and sloths are just a few of the species you’ll see here. Take a look at these beauties:
Get up-close-and-personal with over 100 animals from 25 different species. These are some of the most endangered creatures on Earth, so this incredible opportunity to interact with them is truly once-in-a-lifetime.
From otters to owls, sloths to spotted hyenas and everything in between, TGR is easily the most diverse exotic wildlife park in Texas. All of the animals were raised on-site with overwhelming love and attention, so they're all very friendly and safe to approach.
Even the bears just wanna have fun! While their enclosure has a strict no entry policy, it's still amazing to observe playful such dangerous animals can be.
Upon reaching the water buffalo habitat, you'll likely see the behemoths just hanging out. A nice deep mud puddle is all they need to be perfectly content.
Several events such as Boy & Girl Scout programs and day camps are fun, enriching experiences that broaden your child's horizons. They'll meet the animals and learn all about what goes into zookeeping
TGR is the perfect venue for a birthday or other special event. Take a stroll around the park, maybe pet a baby aardvark or two, and make homemade s'mores before heading inside to celebrate in a climate-controlled party room.
