I brought my kids here during Spring Break which was probably a bad idea due to the fact that it was very crowded. However, my 2 year old had a great time seeing all of the animals. I will probably try to go back when it isn't as crowded or as hot.

The zoo is a fun place to take kids to see animals. The dislike is some of the vendors were not open. The water park was a nice touch.

My husband and I visited the zoo over Memorial weekend. We drove around for about 30 minutes to find a parking spot, but finally did. The zoo was very clean, outside, in bathrooms, at vendors places, etc.. Surprising as there were so many people there. The food is outrageous. A bottle of water $2.59. I can see wht families take...

We could have scoped out cheaper tickets paid paid full price at $14 each less than half the price of visiting London Zoo! Hoston Zoo is fantastically well laid our and landscaped you get very close to... More

We went to the Houston Zoo after deciding that the space center would take too long and we only had a few hours to kill in town. Glad we did, had a great day! We got $2 off our adult admissions with our AAA card so that saved us $4!!! We paid the five dollars to feed the giraffes three... More
