It's a fast, convenient and safe way to travel between Downtown, Midtown, the Museum District, the Texas Medical Center, Reliant Park and the South Fannin Park & Ride lot. With frequent service and the capacity to carry up to 400 passengers per trip, METRORail will help cut through congestion in these heavily traveled areas.

Save $1 on an adult admission when you ride METRO to the Houston Zoo (One offer per person). Present any current METRO bus or METRORail ticket at the admission booth to receive your discount.

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.

Take 610 South to Highway 288 North. Exit N. MacGregor and turn left onto N. MacGregor. The road will fork once, stay to the right. Take a right at the light onto Golf Course Drive. The Houston Zoo will be located on the left.

Often, when the Park is near capacity, HPD will close access to Golf Course Drive at N. MacGregor. If you’re heading west on N. MacGregor, go straight through the intersection of N. MacGregor and Golf Course Drive. (If you’re approaching from the east, go past the MacGregor intersection, reverse direction and follow the “heading west” instructions.) Turn right onto Fannin. At the second light on Fannin, take a right onto Hermann Circle Drive. Continue on Hermann Circle Drive as it turns into Golf Course Drive. The Zoo will be on your right.

 

Parking in Hermann Park and the Zoo’s main lot on Golf Course Drive is limited, so consider arriving early.

Other parking options include using the Memorial Hermann Medical Plaza at 6400 Fannin. This facility does charge a parking fee.

Better yet, just take the convenient METRORail anywhere along its line from downtown to near the old AstroWorld location .
