Petting Zoos near Houston Where Kids Can See Farm Animals
Submitted by Rachael Cherry on
Getting outdoors with kids is always fun, but when you add in animals it takes the fun factor to the next level. Any trip to a zoo or safari park is sure to be met with glee, but nothing ups the ante better than actually getting to hug the animals at a petting zoo. From typical barnyard animals like sheep and goats to more exotic ones like wallabies and lemurs, we've rounded up 10 petting zoos that deliver a unique animal experience.
As a bonus, many of these are at our favorite area farms, so you can get ready to spend the day interacting with animals and getting in some serious playtime! Be sure to bring some extra cash; there are several that allow you to buy food so that you can hand-feed the animals. For even more outdoor fun, be sure to check our Farms & Pick Your Own Guide and our Zoos and Gardens Guide.
