Great place to visit solo or with your family. Don't worry if the parking lot looks packed, when you get inside the zoo it doesn't feel that way. Pay attention to the keeper talk times because they are awesome. It is better to get there early because the animals tend to sleep once it gets hot. If you have an extra $7-14, I would recommend paying for the giraffe feeding. There are two feedings per day, and the small line is worth the wait for this unique experience. Also, don't forget about the indoor exhibits. They are well thought out, and a great place to get out of the hot, Texas sun.

A great way to spend the day and the kids will love it. The zoo is fairly big and it has plenty of animals to see. The University of Houston's cougar lives here as well. It is located near the museum district if you wanted to make a whole day out of it. There are places to eat inside if you wanted. Visiting during Christmas time is a good idea. The zoo does a nice job of decorating with lights and lots of people come out to see it every year.

I absolutely loved my experience here. I bought tickets online for my best friend, her husband, and my goddaughter. Got through to get in so fast!!! The staff was so kind and knowledgeable. Of course we went during spring break, so it was wild. We got to see everything we could imagine, and then some. The animals all seem very happy and well taken care of. Their keepers seem to have great bonds with them, and it was very enjoyable. 
The best part for us adults were the food trucks/stands in different areas. I grabbed some of the street tacos and fell in absolute love! I would go back for those any day. 
Best zoo I've visited, hands down. There's so much more to see around it, as well. 
 Will be coming back soon!!

We love coming here the staff is very friendly and the exhibits and animals are always great. We try to come every time we visit Houston. One of the best things is that you can bring your own water bottle and they have fill stations to refill the bottle for free. The best thing about viewing animals is you never know how they might act or if you will get lucky and get some good views.

I was positively amazed at all the animals. So glad they had a map to guide one around the zoo. It would be easy to get lost and go in circles. They also had labels and strategically placed map boards that let you know where you were making it easy to decide which way you wanted to go. I enjoyed my visit so much the time just flew by. Loved the aquarium too.
