I LOVE the Houston Zoo!! A place filled with lots of great animals, there are signs that educate you about the wildlife, where they come from, species, if they are endangered, etc... The zoo is a great place to go destress and walk around for a while and enjoy the outdoors. If you have small kids you can buy a membership and go as often as you like for a year. There are great events that are done for zoo members that you can participate in (additional fees may be required). The feeding of the Giraffes is my favorite, coming up close to them is amazing. Be sure to check out any day events of when trainers come out to feed other animals and talk about them. Zoo Lights in the winter is also incredible to see all the lights. You can bring in your own snacks for a picnic so no worries about overspending inside (restaurant and vendor snack prices are reasonable too in case you didnt bring a lunch or beverage). You can apply to become a zoo volunteer if you really like animals. Overall a GREAT family friendly place to be!!
