Houston Zoo

The Houston Zoo is made up of many moving parts. We have over 6,000 permanent residents (our animals) for whom we provide housing, meals, medical care and, yes, even education! There are over 2 million guests each year who come to experience our incredible variety of animals and ecosystems, as well as attend special private and public events and entertainment. Our dedicated staff works around the clock to ensure that the Zoo is always running smoothly for the safety and well being of our residents and guests. We offer U.S. veterans and active military 50% off general admission tickets for up to five guests all year long (2 adults and 3 children). A reservation is required. You MUST show your proof of military service when presenting your ticket(s) for admission.
