We will redefine what a zoo can be with beautiful and immersive habitats, compelling guest experiences, and an unyielding commitment to saving wildlife.
To create these new spaces, we are undergoing a massive construction project which will temporarily shift pathways, close buildings and move some animals to new habitats. During this process, the Zoo is working diligently to minimize impacts, while continuing to maintain the best experience possible for both guests and our animals.
Current Projects
Galápagos Islands
Opens 2023
A first-of-its-kind exhibit starring the landscape and wildlife that made history, plus enhancements to the Houston Zoo’s main entry. No place better illustrates the wonder of unique species, the delicate balance of ecosystems, or the pressing need for conservation action than the Galápagos Islands. This exhibit will immerse visitors in the Islands’ starkly beautiful environment; highlight the Zoo’s ongoing field work with giant tortoises, birds, and marine animals; and serve as a jumping-off point for educational experiences, including eco-travel.
This exhibit is set to open in early 2023, during the Houston Zoo’s centennial celebration.
