The Moody Gardens complex in Galveston is okay.

Houston is also lacking in a Botanical Gardens. And yeah, the previously mentioned demolition several years ago of Astroworld, but nothing there on the land.

I thought I had read somewhere that Phoenix didn't have an amusement park. I guess I stand corrected.

Does Orlando have a zoo aside from Disney's Animal Kingdom?

Orlando has Sea World......and the Central Florida Zoo is in Sanford, not so far away.

Richmond Va has a zoo, but it's over 20 miles away from dowmtown, and only accessible by car.

Washington DC doesn't have an aquarium or good amusement park nearby.
