Gwen and Rachael were incredible hosts throughout, the kids and the adults all had fun, and we all learned some fun facts about animals. This was the easiest and stress free party I have had for my children. Gwen and her staff did the majority of the setup before we arrived, they helped us unload our car and set up what we brought the day of, and played with our boys while we did final preparations. We got so many compliments from all the parents about how great the party was! Thank you Gwen and staff at TGR Exotics Wildlife Park!

Gwen even set up the party room for our kids and made sure each child had the chance to touch -- and sometimes even hold -- the animals. The team made the children feel completely safe while teaching them so much about each animal. There's such a wide variety here -- from sloths and tortoises to bears, monkeys, and so much more -- and you get to see them all up close! I highly recommend this experience for small groups. And if you have a child who loves animals, this is the perfect place for a birthday party. You won't be disappointed!

The big bucket is empty . The potbelly big didn't even have water. What a shame. If I were to come back would be with the animal control. Game warden.

The MacDonald's Farm is conveniently located right off 1960 in Humble, TX. This place has been…read morearound for years and offers a great spot for a family outing. From riding a train around the farm to petting goats to running around on a huge playground, this Farm is an all around good time! Pros: Activities: This place is packed with all types of things to do. There are several animals you can pet (Goats, Llamas, chickens, Cow, pony's and many more. There's a train that goes around the whole farm (included in your admission) and you can ride it as much as you want. They have several spots throughout the facility to reserve for birthday parties . There a HUGE mound of sand for the kids to have fun and a big playground. Plenty of places to take great photos! Location: I dread the words "It's off 1960" because this stretch of road has horrible traffic and some spots are not the best areas to be around but this spot is an excellent location. For all my golf folks, Tour 18 is right across the street ‍ Cons: Price: For a family of four (includes a 16 month old) we paid $80.00 plus food for animals for a total of $89.00. I know everything has gone up recently but I was a little blown away by this price. I would've expected a little more animals to pet or even some outdoor games to make up for this amount. Parking: Get here early or you will be parking in the "additional" parking spot which is a mowed field. Nothing against a mowed field but it isnt close so be ready to walk a little. Overall we will come back again this year since our kids had a blast!! If you're in the area give this farm a try.

Tickets are only $10, and that alone, is worth the 5-star review. For less than the price of a couple coffee's or cartons of eggs, you are able to have some really cool interactions with animals. If you want to experience anything else like this, you'll have to drive an hour to the Houston Zoo, pay a lot more money for tickets, deal with crowds/parking/etc. The Learning Zoo is obviously not trying to compare itself to the Houston Zoo, but where else are you going to get to play with goats, pigs, birds, a pony, tortoises and snakes? The location is really hidden behind 1488. You drive through a residential street, and then all the way at the back, you make a couple of turns, and suddenly you're at The Learning Zoo. When you walk in, you are offered some lettuce and carrots for the animals for an additional $10, which is definitely worth it. Plus, they have some animals inside the lobby area - snakes, hedgehogs, other reptiles, etc. Then you head outside to the main part of the experience. You can walk amongst the tortoises, get "attacked" by all of the birds in their sanctuary, join the goats and pigs in their pen, and they even brought out a 14 foot snake for people to hold and take pictures with. Everyone here was incredibly nice, too. We were only there for about 45 minutes, but for $40, it was worth every penny.

He immediately started singing "Old McDonald had a farm" as soon as it started the tour. I was very impressed how friendly the animals were. Appropriate food was provided by the farm which is good, so that nothing that isn't good for the animals is fed to them. The young lady that took us on our tour was fantastic. She was so kind and engaging with my grandson. She always reassured him when he seemed a little apprehensive about the larger animals. I would definitely go back and will recommend this place to my friends.

We always have such a good time coming here!…read more We love the interaction with the touch tide pool, the octopus, penguins and the interaction with various animals - especially the sting rays! There is also a petting zoo with llamas and goats and horses and even giraffes but the kids have usually been more interested in the aquarium and aviary. There have been some changes to the pricing and the play area with all the bouncy houses has drastically changed since we had a membership last year, so I'm not sure if we'll renew. But it is still definitely a place we'll hit up at least once a year!

This is an amazing zoo. Never knew it existed. You have the opportunity to interact with the…read moreanimals. Each interaction does require payment/credit. Depending on what you will be doing, it ranges from 30 to 90 credits. About $3 to $9 depending on how much credit your purchase as they give free credits the more you buy. The koi were huge and hungry. For 30 credits, got to buy some koi food to feed them. The sting rays were fantastic. First time to feed stingrays. Mouth is on the bottom... a staff showed us how to feed them. Learned something new. We got to throw some fish to the otters. Petted lemurs and kangaroo. Went up close to an Asian water monitor lizard. It was big... 8 ft in length. A lot of firsts for us. They also had a camel, giraffe, turtles, different types of lizards, ant eater, baby armadillo, warthog and so much more. We didn't get a chance to interact with the capybara as they were cleaning the cage. We went in a Friday afternoon and wasn't busy. I can see how kids would love the place. Oh yeah, they even had penguins that you can interact with too. Another first. Definitely worth visiting if you like animals.

My 2 year old was free. $2 for a bucket (must use a Froberg's bucket for picking). We bought 2 to share among the 4 of us. We filled both close to the top (close to 6 lbs total). I'm not sure how much it cost per lb since I didn't pay, but i think it was $5/lb. Credit card does incur a 3.99% fee. We also bought some bbq: brisket sandwich, hotdog with turkey sausage and jalapeno sausage, Arizona green tea, bottled water, and 2 sausages to-go (jalapeno pork & deer sausage and regular sausage). It was a lot of food actually for $48. We also bought some baked goods to-go (especially enjoyed the oatmeal cookie, chocolate cookie, and pecan pie) . Cookies were $1.50 each or $12/dz. The medium pie (about 4 servings) was maybe $6-7. Being a Friday, there was not much to do at all because all the rides, games, and food trucks only run on the weekends. I guess it saved us money at least bc everything cost $3-4 (tokens). We still managed to stay 2 hours (it made our 1 hr drive worth it) because we ate the bbq at the shaded picnic tables while my 2 year old played on the playground. It's a small playground, but it had her favorite things- swings, slides, and a tire tower to climb. She had fun. I may go to Blessington for the pumpkin patch this fall (based off reviews), but fruit picking is pretty fun here.

They failed to provide the animals we specifically requested for the petting zoo and paid more for. When we raised the issue, they berated us over phone and text, insisted they weren't at fault, and then refused to refund our money. On top of that, they aren't even the actual service provider -- just an agent who acts as a middleman, charging more while delivering poor results. Completely unprofessional and not worth the hassle.

The new sealion exhibit is very nice as you can get a great view of them glide over you. The giant river otters with their crazy antics sliding on the small creek inside their river display.

I recommend at least checking it out for a quick journey into the wild in the middle of Houston.

We had such a great day at the Houston Zoo. We are here from Denver visiting our son, and thought…read morewe'd spend a nice day at the zoo. We purchased our time entry tickets (my son's student ticket was free, but he did need to show his student ID) for Friday at 12:00. It was a rainy day, so we entered with our rain jackets and umbrellas. Parking in Hermann Park was easy, and we got a spot right close to the zoo entry. The rain was light, and came and went. The day cooler than average at 76 degrees F or so. We wandered from sight to sight, and saw just about everything. We were not able to find the Snow Leopard, nor the Howler Monkeys (including the new baby). We didn't see a bear. The elephants were just going in for feeding time. Still there was so much to see! Monkeys, otters, snakes, bugs, frogs and lily pads, zebras, antelopes, elephants, tigers, lions, leopards, ocelot, the Ant Eater was amazing! There was a sea lion exhibit where you stand in a tunnel, and the sea lions swim over you! And, there was a "cat walk" upon which the leopard would stalk--creepy! The animal attendants were very friendly and interactive, offering information about each animal, including the names and ages of the animals. They were able to answer any question I threw at them--what do they eat? Who gets a long with whom? The signage was interesting, too, with information about each species, and then a white board that is apparently updated frequently with daily news. We were there the Friday prior to Mother's Day, and there were heart signs around, identifying each of the mothers by name, wishing them Happy Mother's Day. Very sweet! Sweetest of all was the just born Gibbon (just 10 days old). It was in its mama's arms, and dad and her other son were playing nearby. The family was incredibly sweet! Dad and 3-year-old son Marv were taking care of each other while Mom was taking care of baby. And watching them swing along their trees was so fun! Favorite exhibits included the Gorilla and the Gibbons. Next time we visit Houston, we will be back on a sunny day, perhaps in the morning, to see if we can find even more!
