The Houston Museum of Natural Science is located across the street from Hermann Park, about a 20-minute walk from the Houston Zoo. Daily parking is available at $30 for the general public and $10 ...

The zoo said next month's closure is due to the building's aging infrastructure no longer meeting the needs of housed animals.

Located in Hermann Park and close to Houston's Museum District, the zoo is about 4 miles south of downtown. The zoo does not have its own parking lot; free parking is available in Hermann Park.

A longtime Houston Zoo exhibit with over 60 years of service will close following spring break, officials announced.
