The Houston Zoo is one of the best places in Houston to visit if you're an animal lover or looking for a place to take the kids for something fun and different

I've been several times over the last few years and I have to say I've always enjoyed the things I've seen there. The animals are well taken care of and the place is huge, giving you lots of different sights to see.

One of my favorite times to visit is during the Christmas holiday because that's when Zoo Lights takes place. This is where the entire zoo is lit up in amazing displays of Christmas lights after the sun goes down. This is a separate event from regular zoo admission but well worth the price to go and see.

I'd recommend this to anyone who is new to Houston or visiting from out of town. I've gone with kids, friends, and relatives that we've brought from overseas and everyone has enjoyed it. You won't regret visiting this place.
