Carpooling and riding the METRO bus or METRORail system are good alternatives to navigating a parking spot.
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.
