Plan your next Houston Zoo visit and reconnect with the animals you know and love.
At Camp Zoofari, we provide an immersive, hands-on learning experience for children ages 6-12 at the Houston Zoo. Guided by our passionate camp staff, we transform the Zoo into a dynamic classroom where each day offers unique opportunities for campers to connect with our animals and the dedicated individuals working to save them. Our mission is to inspire and shape the wildlife-saving identities of our campers, foster a deep appreciation for nature, and maintain a commitment to conservation.
Visit our newest exhibit and see birds from around the world!
By hosting your next gala, rehearsal dinner, birthday, or other milestone celebration at Houston Zoo, you can be sure your guests will be buzzing about your event long after the party ends.
It's a great day to visit the Zoo! Come see your favorite animals and make new memories.
