A nice zoo The houston zoo is located nicely in one corner of the herman park near the museum distict in houston. It is a pretty small zoo compared to the more famous ones in other cities. They have quite a good collection of animals from all around the world, but I think they can do better in terms of landscaping to suit the habitat of the animals. They do have special events during holidays, and while they're fun, parking is a huge problem at those times.
A great Family place The zoo here is wonderful! The admission prices are great. The exhibits are clean and well kept and the animals are the number 1 priority. Very educational and just a fun and safe place to take the family.
Wonderful Experience I don't think there is anything bad you could say about this place. The childrens part of the zoo is a lot of fun and the kids really love that. Esp. the petting zoo.
Wonderful Family Place This place is so much fun for the family. They did raise the price this summer, but is well worth it. The train is wonderful too. I think that was my son's favorite part.
Really a great zoo I have been to lots of zoos around the country. Houston has one of the best. First, it is huge! It will take you most of the day to get through it and see most of what you want to see. They have great habitats for the animals. this zoo is very economical. Good fair prices. Also on several days a year you can get in for free, I think martin luther king day is one of the "free" days. You can check their web site for more information.
Wonderful I have family all around, so i have seen lots of zoos. None compare to the Houston Zoo. I take my children there at least 8 times a year. They even send announcements when a baby is born there! they take the time to show my kids how animals are, different demonstrations, etc. It's such a wonderful family place,and the price is perfect for a big family on a budget! PROS: everything CONS: nothing
A place for everyone!! this is such a wonderful place, with so many activities, there are things to do for everyone. Lots to learn and enjoy. Kids have special areas for fun and everything is kept neat and clean. They also have a gift shop and as always everything is a bit expensive there. Also during festival season they have wonderful celebrations for kids and it is so much fun
Nice place to spend the day. It's no San Diego Zoo, but a very nice place just the same. They are making some nice improvements there, including the addition of a "Natural Encouters" exhibit which lets you see the animals in a little bit more natural setting. Every employee that I have encountered there has been excpetionally frinedly and ready to provide assistance of answer questions. They also have people out with animals that the kids can touch or at lest see up really close on a fairly regular basis. Avoid it in May, th... read more
Great Zoo! This is an excellent zoo. The animals are in something similar to their natural habitat, and it is evident that they are well-cared for. It is split into different regions by animal groups, and there is even a children's zoo area. The children's area has a petting zoo, and many more exhibits that are hands on for children.
