StatusAlertOn Tuesday June 18 the Kipp Aquarium will close early at 5:30.
We're re-doing the macaw enclosures near the front entrance to make them even nicer for the birds and for our guests to see them! Please pardon our mess.
The new naked mole rat exhibit in Natural Encounters is nearing completion!
Something new is coming to our Children's Zoo in place of the prairie dog exhibit. Stay tuned for details.
Join us as our animals participate in their very own Animal Egg Hunt! Our elephants, chimpanzees, meerkats, and even Smaug the Komodo dragon are receiving their own egg-themed enrichment throughout the day. Visit them at their habitats in the Houston Zoo and see them hunt, eat, and play with eggs of all sizes.
