The Houston Zoo is a beautiful, well kept Green space right in the heart of Houston proper. There is quite a bit of construction going on for new exhibits. The staff and volunteers are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable, the animals very diverse and well cared for. The restaurants are overpriced ($32.00 for lunch for 2) but that's to be expected, I guess. My advice would be to bring a lunch. Overall it was a good experience, and I will go back.
