Texas Zoo

Veterinary Program for Middle School and High School Students at the The Texas Zoo  

Located in Victoria, Texas, the Texas Zoo is a community-supported nonprofit dedicated to wildlife conservation and education. Known as “The Texas Zoo in the Texas Wild,” it features both native species and exotic animals from around the globe. Its mission to inspire wildlife stewardship is reflected in its hands-on programs, breeding efforts for endangered species, and close connection to the local community.

Envision’s vet program at the Texas Zoo offers young kids and teens an up-close look at the world of animal health.

The Texas Zoo’s welcoming grounds are home to diverse animal habitats, each designed to promote comfort and well-being for the animals it houses. Shaded walkways, interactive exhibits, and spacious enclosures offer an inviting atmosphere for both learning and exploration. Students can expect a hands-on, immersive environment that tells a story about the animals’ needs, adaptations, and conservation challenges.

The Texas Zoo is the perfect place for middle and high school students to explore their passion for animal care and conservation. Through Envision’s veterinary programs participants gain real-world veterinary skills, a deeper appreciation for wildlife, and the confidence to pursue careers dedicated to animal health and preservation.
