It will be here before you know it. January through April flew by, and school will be out in a few weeks and then...summer. Get ready because it is only a matter of time before our kids are let loose for a full summer break! What to do what to do?

If you need a little inspiration and something not too far away, at least within the state, here is a list of some great zoos in Texas! You're never too old for a zoo to check out some super cute animals. And depending on which city in Texas you hit up for summer, if they have a zoo it will give you a full day of fun.

Abilene Zoo-we've been to this one plenty of times. Not too far of a drive but the perfect size zoo not to wear mom and dad out too much.

San Antonio Zoo-a ticket for this zoo won't break the bank with daily standard admission tickets going for between 17-21 bucks. Plan to be here for as little as 2 but up to 4 hours for the full zoo experience.
