Really nice Zoo for the size. Being from San Diego I am use to the big Zoo experience. However, Houston's primate exhibit has to be one of the best I've seen. Their rhinos, elephants and giraffes are easily accessible so you can get right up close to them. The animal handlers are always pleasant and informative. I highly recommend you stop in for a visit if you are just passing through. If you are new to the area and are looking for a place to stroll around or get out of the city while on the city, then definitely get a membership.

Only improvement I can think of is some of the kiosk vendors could use some additional training in hospitality. Otherwise, it's always a pleasant experience.
