Houston \u2013 Houston Life is celebrating the start of Spring at one of our favorite places — the Houston Zoo.<\/a> If you\u2019re looking for a reason to visit one of Houston\u2019s favorite attractions, the crew is giving you an all-access pass of everything to enjoy this Spring.<\/p>\n

Houston Life co-host Derrick Shore<\/a> is checking out a hidden gem, the greenhouse, where plants play a much bigger role than you might think. From supporting animal diets to creating natural habitats, you\u2019ll learn why this space is so important and get details on the zoo\u2019s first-ever public plant sale happening next month.<\/p>\n

Then, co-host Tessa Barrera<\/a> went behind the scenes with the zoo\u2019s veterinary team to see how cutting-edge technology is changing the way animals are cared for. From diagnosing injuries to catching illnesses early, these tools are helping experts get a clearer picture and provide better care than ever before.<\/p>\n

Plus, Houston Life reporter Melanie Camp<\/a> is showing us how we can step into a world of imagination as we explore the all-new Mythical Realms exhibit. It\u2019s a magical experience filled with larger-than-life creatures designed to spark curiosity for visitors of all ages.<\/p>\n
