Yeah like they said in that article, I knew it was one of the most attended Zoo's in the country. It's location is in the heart of Houston.

The except on Houston Zoo:

#6 – Houston Zoo in Houston, Texas

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.

Open daily. Standard admission: $10. Offers “free” days throughout year

The Excerpt on Fort Worth's Zoo:

#5 – Fort Worth Zoo in Fort Worth, Texas

Since its founding in 1909, accreditation has followed the Forth Worth Zoo, and today it has been heralded as the top zoo in the nation by Family Life, USA Today, and the Los Angeles Times. Although the zoo is well-rounded overall, with over 350 species from every continent except Antarctica, it pays special tribute to the native flora and fauna of Texas. In the feature exhibit, Texas Wild!, can learn all about the diverse wildlife of the Lone Star State while also seeing a historic glimpse back at turn-of-the-century Texas in an authentic town recreation from the early 1900’s.

Open daily; seasonal hours. Standard admission: $12.

I'm glad Texas has two Zoo's making it into the top 10!

I don't doubt it. The more Texas domination on these lists the better.

Texas FTW!

You should go see the new Giants of the Savanna exhibit at The Dallas Zoo, you can feed the giraffes and there is a new cafe too. This is the first time in along time I have really enjoyed going to the zoo.

Ladarron, I am surprised you did not pick up on my second link. The one that said Dallas has more individual animals. You can brag about that
