The zoo has a great range of animals and exhibits and the grounds are well kept and spacious. There's lots of shade to keep you somewhat cool during those hot Texan summer months if you visit during that time frame. The animal enclosures are nice, and can really give you great views of the animals themselves if you are a bit patient. This also makes for great photo views, as shown here with this photo of an approaching jaguar. Food and snack prices are also very reasonable, as are prices for souvenirs. This zoo makes for a great day out for the family.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/286/b52f738b-864b-4a27-a083-5c59c0217a99.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Cameron Park Zoo 11 min drive \- 10.2 miles - ![The city comes alive at night. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/286/130d7bd2-9b44-4df2-9c92-702c9c02a0b0.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Waco Convention Center 12 min drive \- 10.0 miles - Homestead Heritage 2 min drive \- 1.4 miles ### Getting around - Waco, TX (ACT-Waco Regional) 16 min drive ### Restaurants - Whataburger 7 min drive - Chick-fil-A 7 min drive - McDonald's 6 min drive - Starbucks 6 min drive - Wendy's 7 min drive ## Frequently asked questions ### Is The Merlot - Unique Container Home Near Waco Attractions pet-friendly? ### How much does it cost to stay at The Merlot - Unique Container Home Near Waco Attractions? ### How much is parking at The Merlot - Unique Container Home Near Waco Attractions? ### What time is check-in at The Merlot - Unique Container Home Near Waco Attractions? ### What time is check-out at The Merlot - Unique Container Home Near Waco Attractions? ### Where is The Merlot - Unique Container Home Near Waco Attractions located? ### Can I cancel my reservation for free and receive a full refund? ## Have a question?
