We've partnered with FreeWill to offer a free, online planning estate tool so you can easily make a gift to the Zoo in your will and join The Werler Society.
The Houston Zoo is recognized as one of the top zoos in the country and serves as an important and effective cultural, education, and conservation organization for the region. Connect YOUR BRAND with our family friendly destination through a partnership and engage our guests to become YOUR consumers!
Event — 6:00 p.m. to Midnight, Saturday, October 19, 2024
Zoo Ball 2024At Zoo Ball 2024 - Wings of Wonder presented by Phillips 66 we will celebrate the opening of the Houston Zoo's newest exhibit, Birds of the World. Join us as we honor Cathy and Joe Cleary and Cullen and Robert Muse for their leadership of our historic centennial campaign.
The Houston Zoo is single-use plastic straw free, and we are asking Houston area bars and restaurants to be straw free as well! To date, partnering locations have eliminated over 862,200 plastic straws from their establishments, saving sea turtles in the wild. Join our wildlife-saving campaign using the pledge form below.
Are you ready to get outside and explore nature? We will play, explore,
learn, and grow, both at the Zoo and at local natural spaces in Houston. We can’t wait to see you and your family at our next event!
