Another fairly large zoo, and certainly one of North America ' s most - attended, the Houston Zoo stands out for its surprisingly modern facilities ( many of the exhibits have been at least renovated in the past five years ) and some interesting choices in how to see the park. Of course you can set off on you own as you might expect, but with an advance reservation the Houston Zoo offers you to set - up a private tour that will take you beyond the normal visitation parameters. Get a glimpse of all the behind - the - scenes action at the zoo, watch special feedings, see the animal hospital, and even look in on an animal training session. It costs a little more, but for true zoo - lovers it ' s the experience of a lifetime. ( website )
For Houston hotels, consider the Crowne Plaza Houston Hotel – West.
Lion Country Safari – Singer Island, Florida
Moving into the altogether different realm of Safari parks, Lion Country Safari near West Palm Beach, Florida is the nation ' s original open - road animal attraction, and arguably it ' s still the best. At Lion Country Safari, you enter in your own vehicle and drive through the zoo over 5 miles of road, more or less at your own pace. While certain animals such as lions and chimpanzees must be contained in fences for their safety and yours, others including zebras and giraffes roam freely and may even hold you up if they decide to take a rest on the road. The open - road zoo is followed up by Safari World, which hosts traditional zoological attractions as well as carnival rides. ( website )
For a West Palm Beach, FL hotel, consider the Hilton Singer Island Oceanfront Resort.
