My home zoo is Portland, so that is my frame of reference. I thought it was great that in Houston you can do things like feed a giraffe some lettuce (I assume this is a free food in their diet, but not even close to free for you). Also you can get closer to the elephants than at Portland. I actually saw a couple of animals that I had never seen before, so they have some animals that aren't at every zoo. The bald eagle habitat was sort of sadly small. There's a little lake next door where you can rent a pedal boat if it isn't hot enough for you.
