Members, if you would like to attend Zoobilee Friday, June 13th, please feel free to join us. No registration will be required. Expected attendance for Friday is very high and will affect traffic and parking. So, here are some parking tips
Parking in Hermann Park and the Zoo’s main lot on Golf Course Drive is limited, so consider arriving early.
Other parking options include using the Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza at 6400 Fannin. This facility does charge a parking fee.
Better yet, just take the convenient METRORail anywhere along its line from downtown to near the old AstroWorld location .
You can catch METRORail at the Fannin South Park & Ride lot, located at 1604 West Bellfort (between Knight and Fannin). Or you can park downtown and catch METRORail at any of the downtown rail stations.
Two METRORail stations serve the Zoo and Hermann Park: Hermann Park/Rice U Station at Fannin and Sunset, or the Memorial Hermann Hospital/Houston Zoo Station on Fannin between North MacGregor and Ross Sterling. Check the printable map below to see suggested routes to the Zoo from your preferred rail stop.
