When Do the Zoo Animals Hit the Hay?
So, you’re planning a trip to the Houston Zoo, huh? Good choice! There’s nothing quite like watching a sloth move faster than a snail (it’s still pretty slow, but hey, it's a sloth). But before you dive into the world of adorable animals and questionable animal puns, let’s tackle the burning question: What time does the Houston Zoo actually close?

Zoo Closing Time: It's Not Rocket Science (But It's Close)
You might think figuring out zoo closing times is as easy as counting the number of stripes on a zebra. Well, think again! While zebras are experts in black and white, zoo hours can be a bit more colorful.
QuickTip: Pause before scrolling further.
The short answer: The Houston Zoo closes at 5:00 PM every day.
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
But wait, there’s more! Last entry to the zoo is at 4:00 PM. So, if you're planning a marathon zoo crawl, make sure to pace yourself. You don't want to be the one frantically chasing after a closing gate while a family of penguins watches, clearly amused.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
