Houston Family Fun | The Houston Zoo

Houston Family Fun | The Houston Zoo

Some of my favorite childhood memories were summer afternoons spent with my grandparents and cousins. They would take us to parks, putt-putt, the aquarium, and my favorite...the zoo! I remember thinking there was nothing more magical than the zoo. I kid you not! We adored walking through the different exhibits and seeing all the animals in my "Animal Kingdom ABC's" book roar to life!As soon as my kiddos were old enough, I couldn't wait to take them for some Houston Family Fun! I wanted to create the same beautiful memories with them, as my grandparent's had created with me. To see their eyes light up in recognition, imitating a lions roar or and elephants trunk makes my heart burn so bright for them. The mind of a child is such a beautiful thing, isn't it?

My favorite part is the Children's Zoo. My kiddos absolutely adore it! There's a petting zoo, interactive playground, live educational shows and even a bat cave and bug house for you more adventurous parents out there! We always have a wonderful time, playing the day away, and sneaking off into distant continents, exploring the wonders of their natural inhabitants.A word to the wise, head out to the Zoo while we're still enjoying this gorgeous spring weather!
