Feed the Giraffes! For $7 (plus park entrance obviously) you can have a close encounter with these adorable animals.

Now to the rest of the zoo...I've been to a lot of Zoos and I'd say the Houston Zoo is what I would expect from a Zoo in a large city. They have a large cross section of different animals and good grounds. I do, however, feel the keeper presentations could be improved upon. They all consist of a keeper standing next to the enclosure and saying a couple pretty obvious things about the animals. It is also both hard to see and hear the keepers. I'd like them to be a little more educational in regards to the conservation work the zoo is doing or little known animal behavior details. They don't have enough fun facts for the kids or enough education for the adults.

Having said all that, overall, it is a good zoo for people of all ages.
