Join us for these fun-filled Friday & Saturday nights!

Thanks to TXU Energy, the Houston Zoo is once again staying open late, so you can enjoy the animals in the cooler evening weather. Join us for Evening Chill every Friday & Saturday evening from June 22 through August 18. From 5 to 8 p.m. guests can enjoy added music and fun family activities that are sure to entertain kids and adults alike! All activities are included in Zoo admission and are free for Zoo Members.

Snow in Texas? In June? Only at the Houston Zoo! We’re making it snow for the first weekend of Evening Chill! Be on the lookout for a snow blizzard while making a snowman or snow angel and learn how the Houston Zoo helps save animals here in Texas.

Guests can also enjoy a variety of fun Meet the Keeper Talks Presented by Phillips 66.
