Social News Network: Free admission on the first Tuesday of each month. Great place for families, but also a great idea for a first date. If not from Houston, prepare for intense humidity and Texas heat.
HISTORY: The zoo is home to more than 4500 animals from over 800 species. Be sure to take a spin on the Wildlife Carousel, featuring hand-carved & hand-decorated animals that showcase many endangered species.
Houston Press: Head out to the Museum Experience - Zone 4 on September 28th for free museum entry, fun arts and crafts and more!

Fernando Covas: Fun activity for children. $3 tickets, $2 for members, for a ~3 minute ride. Adults holding toddlers don't pay.
Regina Willis: Super fun, it gives the parents a much needed break while the kids ride the carousel.
John Rocha: Visit the African Exhibit!
