Definitely a fun place to go on a day off. Was here New Years Day Observed along with the rest of Houston. The line was long getting in but it was worth it. Tons of animals to see; even saw a red striped racoon with a foxs tail... (they called it a Red Panda).We were able to see almost all of the zoo in one day and got a pretty good walk in too. My SHealth app recorded 8.23 miles! Will be back for sure; hopefully with a date. Chicks dig cute animals.
