Zoo lights at the Houston Zoo
Welcome to our zoo—The Houston Zoo connects communities with animals to inspire action to save wildlife and is committed to being a leader in the global effort to save animals in the wild. We are home to over 6,000 animals for whom we provide the highest standard in animal care. Each year, we welcome over two million guests who come to experience our animals and ecosystems. Through their admission tickets or membership, we've been able to support 49 wildlife protection projects in 27 countries around the world. We are proud to be the second most-visited zoo in the US, and the most-attended cultural attraction in the region. Houston's favorite holiday lights experience is now back at the Houston Zoo! The beautiful zoo grounds are the perfect setting to enjoy the sights and sounds of the season with your friends and family.
