Our take
3.5/5Austin Zoo on Rawhide Trail in southwest Austin is a hands-on zoo with goats, sheep, alpacas and llamas that kids can feed. Its party packages for up to 20 people bundle admission, two hours in a venue, an animal presentation with staff educators, invitations, goodie bags, feed bags and a return pass for each child. The Peacock Barn or Primate Pavilion package costs $550, and the enclosed, temperature-controlled Events Pavilion is $625.
Budget parties can use the Picnic Grove all day for a $50 deposit plus $9.95 admission per person. Families bring their own food and decorations, but balloons are not allowed. Weekday parties cost a little less.
