If you are a winner please email your contact information to interactivemarketing@houstonzoo.org to be put on the guest list.

For those of you who participated but did not win, we encourage you to attend either or Valentine’s Day Brunch or our Princess Party – both will be a lot of Valentine’s Day fun!

Thanks for reading our blogs!

Show us why you love the Houston Zoo & be entered to win a free pair of tickets to one of our Valentine’s Weekend events at the Houston Zoo.

Here’s the idea: In 3 words, show us why you love the Houston Zoo. Snap a photo of it, and upload it to us on the Houston Zoo’s Facebook page, tweet it to us at twitter.com/houstonzoo,  or even e-mail it to interactivemarketing@houstonzoo.org.

We’ll announce the 3 big winners on February 9 to win a pair of tickets to our Wild for Love lecture, our Valentine’s Day Brunch, or our Princess Party.

It’s as easy as that. Just 3 words.

Here are a few examples to get your creative juices flowing:

Meet The Keeper

Living The Dream... errr I mean Exploring The Unknown

Lounging Lace Monitor

Touch and Feel

Have fun!

*Note – You can take your photos at home, the Zoo, or anywhere – as long as it shows your 3 words of Houston Zoo love.
