If you're anywhere near the Medical Center, this is the best park in this part of Houston: great paths, beautiful reflection pool near zoo, beautifully maintained, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Museum of Natural History, etc. all right here, lots of wildlife (ducks, etc, which you can feed), and outdoor theater with great performances of ALL kinds during all times of the year. Place can get really hot and humid like anyplace in Houston summer so bring water if you're walking through during the day.

Whenever I visit the Zoo, of which I am proud to say I am a member, it feels as if I am visiting several countries in one day. The variety of well-cared for animals is outstanding. I particularly love how the animals interact with us. During the season of Christmas lights, we visit the animals and then as it darkens and we return for the Christmas lights, it is great to picture where the animals are sleeping and resting.
