Old-time and New Friends at The Houston Zoo

40 Years at the zoo

I’ve been coming to the zoo with family and friends since I was a little girl. I’ve enjoyed bringing my own children as they were growing up. I have many fond memories of the zoo
I love the seal statue, the bird bank, and the lion fountain. I now enjoy visiting with my best friend, her children, and her family when they come to visit from St. Croix. One day I took a beautiful picture of the tiger in the water while standing halfway on the rock and roaring. I also remember the llama sneezing on my sister one time.
