Cheap Flights to Houston (HOU) from UK Airports

Houston Zoo is home to thousands of exotic creatures and is fun for all the family.

The sprawling, diverse, blisteringly warm metropolis of Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States of America and an increasingly popular holiday destination due to its fascinating mix of ethnic culture and a reminiscent scent of the American dream.

A place you might like to visit while touring this destination is Houston Zoo, a rambling, 55-acre vision of exotic wildlife and nature located in Hermann Park. Why, you ask? Well, if it attracts more than 1.6million visitors a year – more than 4,000 a day – you must be in good company!

Home to more than 900 breeds of animal, and more than 6,000 members of the animal kingdom – not including the zoo keepers! – you can be guaranteed not to run out of things to see before the day runs out on you. It is no wonder, really, that Houston Zoo is the seventh most popular zoo in all of the United States. Its mission statement is 'The Houston Zoo provides a fun, unique, and inspirational experience fostering appreciation, knowledge, and care for the natural world' – and it really does.

Get to know your cousins in the Wortham World of Primates, try a taste of Asian culture in the Janice Suber McNair Asian Elephant Habitat, make some feathered friends in one of its three bird enclosures, or take your children along to the John P. McGovern Children's Zoo. Why go to the jungle when you can see all the best bits in one park?
