Event Highlights
Did you know that the elephants at the Houston Zoo eat about 1,000 pounds of food a day? Learn all about what they eat and more at our Elephant Open House event! Thai, Methai, Shanti, Tess, Tucker, Tupelo, Baylor, Duncan, Joy, and baby Tilly invite you to get an exclusive look at their large home.
This event is sold out.
At this event, you will immerse yourself into the daily lives of our elephant Zookeepers and the magnificent animals they care for.
The elephant barn will be open exclusively for Open House attendees to explore, and each stall will feature different aspects of the elephants’ daily lives, like diets, care, training and more!
