Oodles of action-packed adventures await the whole family in Abilene. Hunt for wild animals at the Abilene Zoo, walk through a storybook sanctuary at the Storybook Sculpture park, or explore aviation at Dyess Air Force Base.
Discover new species as you roam through acres of exhibits at the Abilene Zoo, where more than 900 animals await your family's safari. Let your children cavort on the Zoo's Wetlands Boardwalk while they learn about conservation, or see them come face-to-face with a snake at the King Cobra Reptile House. Wander beneath the birds and swinging monkeys, stalk the King of the Beasts at the zoo's lion exhibit, and uncover the secrets of the Black Rhino. Then unleash the scientist within at the brilliantly colored Caribbean Cove Adventure Center, where your budding biologist can participate in educational programs and camps.
Spark your child's imagination with a trip to Abilene's Storybook Sculpture Park, where kids can play among bronze statues of famous Dr. Seuss characters. Let them lead you on an adventure to the moon, as the whole family discovers sculptures based on William Joyce's "Man on the Moon." Home to more than 15 statues, it's the only place in the U.S. permanently displaying the nostalgic Dr. Seuss characters and is sure to inspire young readers.
Launch your little aviator's mind into the deep blue yonder with a trip to the Dyess Air Force Base. Explore the base's B-1B Lancer and C-130 squadrons, and imagine the adventure of the airman in the 317th Airlift Group. Stand proud with your young patriot and honor Air Force heroes at the Dyess Center Memorial Park.
