Located in Alvin, Texas, Bayou Wildlife Zoo is an 80 acre open range zoo. They have animals from all over the world. It’s a great place to spend time with the kids and they get to feed and pet many of the animals. Most of the zoo is viewed from a 45 minute tram ride. Take a look at what Otter and his friends saw.
Bayou Wildlife Zoo is a lot of fun for the kids. I would plan on going in the morning and eating a picnic lunch in the picnic area with the deer looking over your shoulder, begging for food. By lunch time, you will have probably had time to see everything once. After that, you can re-visit some of the animals, take a pony ride, or head out to explore more of the Alvin area, head down to Galveston for a ferry ride, or take the kids home for a nap. Get more details on Bayou Wildlife Zoo at their website here.

This week we head down to Galveston Island. Otter loves the water and this week we take a ride on the Galveston Ferry. We had a great time and got to see lots of cool stuff. There were lots of dolphins and they were having a good time, too.
A special thanks to the couple that was out on the ferry with us and asked to be a part of our post. For more information on the Galveston Ferry, visit the Galveston Ferry page here.
If you have a place you would like for Otter to visit, let us know. Otter is always looking for fun things to do, places to see, and people to meet. Thanks for watching this episode of Where’s Otter.

Each theater has something new every year. From face painting, photo booths, theatrical demonstrations, dance performances, and live music, there is something for everyone. The highlight of the day is always the Houston Symphony Orchestra. Every year, the Houston Symphony closes the open house with a free performance at Jones Hall.
