This place was Beautiful... This was our first time going to The Houston Zoo. I was really impressed with the whole place. They had a lot of shaded areas and cool down spots. Staff seemed happy to be working there and were very friendly. Animals seemed well taken care off and given cool down areas as well. I loved it! They had gorillas and chimpanzees. I was so intrigued and happy to be able to see them up close. This by far is the best Zoo that I've been to. We had memberships to S.A. Zoo, but this Zoo was way better and well shaded. They have nice fun looking play areas and a splash pad for the kiddos. It was such a beautiful clean environment. Even the animal enclosures were well taken care of. I have so much good stuff to say about this place. I hope to visit again and be able to see anything we missed this visit. Only thing I didn't understand was why was the Dinosaur exhibit extra? Just to walk around in a U shape to see a few dinosaurs. Here in S.A. they're spread out and you're able to view them through out the park.
