Love the Houston zoo! Cool exhibits (Big Bugs!)- not the biggest zoo in the world but you can definitely spend a long day here. Zoo seems to make real effort to have animals available in the exhibits during the day. Kids love the merry go round, splash area and petting zoo to get interactive (and give parents a short break). I love that the zoo has activities during the summer for the evenings (since it gets pretty hot in Houston!) so kids can still enjoy the zoo without having a heat stroke. The activities we loved were the snow day/party and pajama jam (meet the keeper talks centered on how zoo animals sleep). Great location to visit with kids/visitors especially if you can get a Groupon/ deal!
