🦖 Jurassic Giants at the Houston Zoo (Family-Friendly)

When: Fri–Sun, Aug 22–24 • During regular zoo hours
Where: Houston Zoo, Hermann Park

Step into a prehistoric trail dotted with 60 life-size dinosaur models—from towering sauropods to raptors—set alongside today’s animal ambassadors for fun “then vs. now” comparisons. It’s immersive, photo-ready, and endlessly kid-approved without feeling crowded into one exhibit.

Why go: Big “wow” factor, educational moments at every turn, and plenty of shade and splash zones nearby.
Pro tip: Arrive early for cooler temps and easier parking; loop the exhibit first, then circle back for keeper talks.
