This is the best zoo in Texas. I have been to almost all of them, and Houston Zoo beats them all. You can bring some food/drinks in especially if you have a child with special dietary needs. I love the new children s nature play area! Rock fountain to splash in, sand beach to dig, logs to climb! Perfect for tots to 7 or 8 yr olds. Lots of seasonal nature items to play with. Right now it s pine cones, massive acorn tops, spruce branches and fluffy cotton. Petting zoo included, and best play area I ve ever seen. I will get my zoo pass just to go for a park trip to dig in clean sand and climb on a playground surrounding a penguin exhibit! Oh and of course the cheap carousel and train rides!
