Houston 'Zoo Lights' offer discounts for the entire family this season
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Houston Zoo.
Visitors can see the zoo transformed into a winter wonderland while enjoying a variety of holiday experiences, like hot chocolate, a Texas-themed light display, a Holiday Train Village, Enchanted Forest and an appearance by Candy, the interactive talking zebra.
The Houston Christmas tradition is now in its seventh year and begins Nov. 17, running through Jan. 13.
