A STARRY NIGHT IN the Galápagos
The Houston Zoo’s brand-new Galápagos Islands experience is now open to our community, and it’s simply stunning! This immersive, one-of-a-kind exhibit showcases the incredible biodiversity of the Galápagos and highlights how our actions can protect wildlife and wild places around the world.

Honoring Stacy Methvin
At Zoo Ball 2023, we will proudly recognize Honoree Stacy Methvin for her extraordinary leadership as the Houston Zoo’s Board Chair from 2016 to 2022. During Stacy’s leadership, she oversaw the growth and transformation of the Houston Zoo leading up to our centennial year.
