Never heard of a koi fish? I’ll bet you have, you just didn’t know it! Koi originated in Japan and are considered a sign of good luck there. They come in many different colors and are usually found in decorative ponds and Japanese gardens. And while you may be thinking, “So what? These are just fish.” But some of these beautiful fish can be worth thousands of dollars!!
Koi at the Zoo
On September 16th and 19th, the Houston Zoo’s Safari School program will be focusing on these amazing animals. Bring your toddler with you for an hour long program during which we will learn about koi, meet a fish up close in the classroom, create our very own painted fish prints, and feed the koi residents at the Reflection Pond. So swim on over to the zoo and join us!
