Houston Zoo New Revised Free Day Schedule

Formerly held on Memorial Day, Labor Day and July 4, summer free days traditionally saw very large crowds, putting a strain on the Zoo staff, animals and surrounding areas including the Museum District and the Texas Medical Center.

To alleviate serious traffic and overcrowding concerns, the Zoo created a new free day schedule.
 

The new free day schedule now in effect will maintain five free admission days:


Columbus Day Monday October 12, 2009
The Day After Thanksgiving Friday November 27, 2009
New Year’s Day Friday January 1, 2010
Martin Luther King Jr. Day  Monday. January 18, 2010
President’s Day  Monday February 15, 2010
