Travel to Africa -- No Passport Needed
Chimpanzees, rhinos, and giraffes ― while the new African Forest will have its fair share of awe-inspiring animals, it isn’t just about magnificent wildlife and beautiful habitats.
It’s about people, and the wonderful, rich cultures that we all can share. We are bringing the adventures of Africa to Houston, and we're excited to share the journey with you.
The African Forest is more than an exhibit ― it's an immersive experience that will entertain and educate young and old alike. There's simply nothing else like it.
