Houston Zoo is always fun to visit, especially during holidays. Halloween events encourage kids to come in costume, and wintertime Zoo Lights are always amazing. It is sandwiched in with the Museum District and the Medical Center. If you don't want to go into the zoo itself, Hermann Park literally surrounds it (and is free, with a cool train for kids).
