Plan Your Trip to Houston for SchipulCon!

Houston Main Street by Ed Schipul

Flying in to Houston? We promise you'll love the locale!

Leaving on a Jet Plane....

First you'll need to pick an airport to fly into.  Houston has two great options for you!

  1. The George Bush Intercontinental Airport is a major airport hub, located about 40 minutes from the Houston Zoo
  2. It may be a little tougher to find a flight into Hobby Airport, but they can sometimes be cheaper and Hobby is a little bit closer to SchipulCon!!

Hotels in Houston

So now you've landed and you're looking for a place to say.  There are lots of great places to stay in and around Houston and the Houston Zoo is extremely convenient to downtown.  For a list of cool hotels downtown check out this list on HoustonDowntown.com

Looking for something even more conveniant? Here is a list of hotels that are mere miles from the zoo:

  2. Hilton Houston Plaza
