Described by Frommer's Texas as "one of the state's best," the El Paso Zoo holds nearly 2,000 different live animals in natural wildlife exhibits. Traditional crowdpleasers like monkeys, tigers and Asian elephants can be seen as well as a reptile house and an exhibit recreating a historic rest-stop on the Camino Real. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for children.
