The Houston Zoo is a really nice place to go spend the day.
Pros: There are plenty of places to eat and buy souvenirs.
You can relax and let your kids play in certain areas.
There are great attractions like the aquarium and reptile house. As well as birds and other exhibits.
Cons: Parking runs out quick. For this I recommend going a bit earlier in the day. Leaving the house at 9am should get you there at a good time. Or you could try to visit the Zoo on a week day like Wednesday when everyones at work.
Another con would lines to enter but honestly they're not really too long of a wait. Sometimes they can be though, so to skip the lines I recommend going to your local Feista Mart and buying tickets there. It's cheap and when you get to the entrance you can avoid the lines and get your tickets stamped immediately.
In conclusion, the Houston Zoo is really nice I recommend it to family's and tourists.
