Example for Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary:
Summary: The Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary is a non-profit rescue zoo and animal sanctuary located west of Austin. The mission of the Austin Zoo and Animal Sanctuary is to assist animals in need through rescue, rehabilitation and education. The Zoo and Sanctuary has over 300 animals from over 100 different species, and hosts over 175,000 visitors annually.

Tip for "How to best enjoy": The footpath takes about an hour and a half to walk, or buy a ticket for a 15-minute train ride around the perimeter of the park.

Tip for "When to reserve / book": Reserve a private tour 3-weeks in advance for an up-close, personal view of the lions, tigers, and bears.

Tip for "What to know about the place": Austin Zoo & Animal Sanctuary is more sanctuary that zoo. Don't expect a big commercial operation or chain-restaurant food court.

Tip for "Who to go with": Given it's smaller size, plethora of feeding opportunities, and fun train, kids are bound to have fun.
