The Houston Zoo is open year-round, and this is the perfect time for a visit! Make sure to stop by the Plan Your Day kiosk upon arrival for information on what special feedings, shows, or enrichment activities will take place during your time at the Zoo. Where else can you explore the flora and fauna of Africa, Asia, and Borneo...right in the middle of the city?
Encompassing a seemingly boundless world of ecosystems and experiences, the Houston Zoo offers a glimpse into the lives, habitats, and conservation of over 4,500 animals for whom we provide housing, meals, medical care and, yes, even education! Each year 1.7 million guests take part in the wonder and magnificence of creatures big and small, from all over the globe, and learn ways in which they too can contribute to the protection and prosperity of the animals they get to know and love - in much the same way that our dedicated staff works to ensure that the Zoo is always running smoothly for the safety and well being of our residents and guests.
In everything we do, we strive to:
- Be a zoo for all
