OK

It's always nice to visit a zoo. In Houston we have the disadvantage of terrible weather a lot of the time (it's either scorching hot or raining), so outdoor activities can be difficult. The animal exhibits...

The Houston Zoo is rated as the best "free" attraction only Houston's Zoo is not free. It is only free if you are under 2 years old.

Not free

I do not know why this was put into the catagory of free attractions because it is not free to go to the zoo. I think it should not be in the free attractions catagory.
