Houston Zoo

Houston Zoo is far, far more than just a zoo. It is actually much more like a tiny city, with the animals as its residents: they all have their own areas, their ecosystems and their unique way of being. With just under 5,000 animals, there are so many to see and Houston Zoo prides itself on being a zoo that really promotes conservation and making sure that the animals in the zoo are well cared for and that we all become aware of what we need to do to ensure that those in the wild survive! Over 1.6 million people visit the zoo every year and during the year you will often find special events or talks on, since there is a real slant towards education at Houston Zoo.
