Houston Zoo

I remember going to the Houston Zoo when I was a little girl and it was always so much fun for meI'm a big animal lover. But now as an adult I take my two little girls there at least every other month-and it just keeps getting better and better. They have so many more animals-different one from all over the world and the children's portion of the zoo is AWESOME!!! On hot summer days they have a sprinkle area for the kids to run around in and very fun informative shows and displays. Plus you get all the fun available just outside the Zoo door sfor very reasonable prices. :-)

This is not the best zoo, nor is it the worst zoo I have ever visited. It is EXTREMELY hot in the summer, but okay in the spring/fall.

The Houston Zoo is great. I went on a hot day but I still had fun. We got souvenirs and the food was great.

I love this zoo, but would not recommend going in the heat or you may find yourself spending the entire time indoors. They have a nice children's zoo with a lot of animals. They also have a lot of animals in the other parts of the zoo. St. Louis Zoo is still my favorite, but this one is okay.

After going to other Zoos in the country the Houston Zoo really was not what I expected. The whole zoo just looked like it needed a lot of work. The area was kind of dirty and many of the animals had been moved to another exhibit. The children's zoo was closed altho im sure it probably was not all that. The staff is very friendly and know all your questions so that really did help. The park outside the zoon and the area the zoo is in is really fun. It is a great place to have a picnic and spend some time with your family. The zoo itself really did make you wish for more. If you have never been to a zoo before then this is a good zoo but once you have seen better it makes you wish the Houston zoo had worked a little harder.

I love the Houston zoo! The last time I visited, I had my grandsons, ages 7 & 8 now. They had a blast!. I think we saw every animal and attraction in the park. We even had a picnic there; just don't feed the birds. If you don't feed them, they won't come.

I particularly don't buy the food because of expense, but nevertheless, the Houston zoo is a great place to spend time with family friends or meet new friends.

Houston Zoo is not my favorite urban zoo ever. I found it too small and the animals seemed to be in some very cramped quarters. It was sort of depre more...

I enjoy taking the kids to the zoo, especially on a weekday when it is not too crowded. Even in the heat, you can cool off in some of the buildings. more...

We went to this zoo a few years ago and never went back because it was just a bunch of chainlink fence. I felt so sorry for all the animals. We deci more...

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.
