There are almost no animals out and the ones that were, were all up against the doors waiting to get in. They looked hungry thirsty and miserable. Enclosures were dirty and did not look appropriate for the animals except the chimpanzees. And they moved around like they were drugged.They barely moved, the gorillas look dead. If it hadn't been for the Jurassic Giant Park I would have probably asked for my money back but my kids really like that part. 6.50 for a Coke and you can't get bags for your stuff you have to buy bags, at $5 a pop. It's ridiculous like the tickets don't cost enough already. Big disappointment from what I remember the zoo to be like when I was young. Will not do it again and I will not recommend it to anyone else. A total waste of money. $150 to get in and another $100 just to get two necklaces and a Coke. Wow, talk about a money scam. And you have to buy tickets in advance online because they don't sell tickets at the gate. Kind of weird.

Went to the Houston zoo for the first time and was very impressed. There was some construction going on and the guys working up in the air were doing something that caused a horrible smell like burning acrylic and about two dozen other people began gagging and coughing and running from the area. That was wild. Otherwise, the zoo is very well cared for, clean, and well shaded. Highly recommend!

Havent been in a while. Lots of upgrades..Lots of seating along the way in each section. Food and shops along the way also. Check times if you want to see sertain big animals. Visit when they will be out not on a break or habitat getting renovated or something.

It was great, I hadn't visited the Zoo since I was very little more then 10 years at least. But be warned ⚠️ finding parking will be difficult if you come late ⚠️ I'm not sure if this happens every week-end or what. But some lanes get closed/blocked with traffic cones. In the roundabouts, and since a lot of people like you visit the park, most of the right lanes are full of parked cars. My sister dropped my off close to the enterance but that was only after circle around a few times trying to figure out how to get closer to the zoo enterance. The temperature was the 80 and around noon when I went. It wasn't unbearablely hot, there was plenty of shade and breezes through the walk ways. I didn't get to see all the exhibits because I ran out of time and. I got turned around a few times. They are currently renovating parts of the Zoo. The walkways that would have passed by the penguins are block, it's a dead end.
