The Houston Zoo gets better and better. The primate habitat is very impressive, the elephants and giraffes are always a blast, and there are plenty of kid friendly activities and play places. During the winter, you can enjoy the zoo lights too - but try to go on a slower night if you can. Parking can be tough enough! If you're able, take the light rail to the park and walk to the zoo - don't bother with parking.
Going to the zoo means preparing in advance. Always be sure to bring a cooler with drinks, snacks, or some sort of food to eat if you plan on being there for a while. Doing this will save you a lot of money rather than spending a huge amount of money on ordinary food. Have patience with parking and be cautious as people will try cutting others off to get a parking spot. Finding parking in the zoo is difficult so always be on the lookout for people leaving and patiently wait for them to leave. The zoo is a beautiful place to spend the day with family and the little ones. Always try to attend the different activities they have at different times to have a more enjoyable experience. I highly recommend looking into the memberships they have if you're someone who comes often as it will save you money and a lot of time when entering the zoo. Nothing bad to say about it, restrooms are always clean and the employees are very friendly and helpful.
I've been several times over the last few years and I have to say I've always enjoyed the things I've seen there. The animals are well taken care of and the place is huge, giving you lots of different sights to see.
The Houston Zoo is one of the best places in Houston to visit if you're an animal lover or looking for a place to take the kids for something fun and different
I'd recommend this to anyone who is new to Houston or visiting from out of town. I've gone with kids, friends, and relatives that we've brought from overseas and everyone has enjoyed it. You won't regret visiting this place.
The Houston Zoo is a wonderful place to take the family.
One of my favorite times to visit is during the Christmas holiday because that's when Zoo Lights takes place. This is where the entire zoo is lit up in amazing displays of Christmas lights after the sun goes down. This is a separate event from regular zoo admission but well worth the price to go and see.
The zoo also has stroller and wagon rentals for a fair price, indoor exhibits for when the weather is too hot, and a great kids' area. You can spend a pretty long while here, as long as your kid likes.
If you are wanting to do the giraffes feedings they are currently done at 11am and 2pm. The lines usually start forming an hour or so ahead so you need to plan accordingly. You will have the opportunity to get great photos of the little ones feeding the giraffes.
They have done renovations recently which brought in some good food back near the giraffe feeding.
Parking was a nightmare, but once that was done, we had a great time. I really enjoyed the size and layout of this zoo. It was nice and big, and even though there were a lot of people, it didn't seem really crowded. I thought they could improve the lines at the entrance, as the wait seemed really long. I really liked the water in the middle of the zoo, kind a water zen garden area. That was great. We had a great time, and I highly recommend it.
