The Zoo was well maintained, had a nice time. Would recommend that its worth spending couple of hours in the Zoo to understand the efforts put in by lot of people in managing some of the wonderful and endangered species.

this isnt the zoo of five years ago. they are constantly improving the animal habitats. the new jungle thing doesnt have many animals but you can feed the giraffes which is great. alot of the cat enclosures have been improved as well as the viewing stands. love the african wild dogs and warthogs. miss my pygmy hippo

(one or two people, don't send the whole staff down on a vacation!) then bring those ideas back and start over. We have a great city but our attractions have been left in the past. We... More

For the size of Houston, this is a very small zoo. That's ok, but what's not is the customer service provided by the staff.
