The Houston Zoo is one of our family’s happy places. We spent much time together walking around, laughing, snacking, and watching the animals. Brad loved watching the animals and loved watching his grandkids watch animals. We felt drawn to donate to the zoo in Brad’s name to establish a “Bud’s Bench” memorial in his honor. (Bud is his grandfather name) We chose the perfect bench and look forward to visiting “Bud’s Bench” often to reflect on all the wonderful memories and to create the new ones Brad would want us to make. We know he would think it was the absolute coolest to have his very own bench at the zoo. 💚🌳🦍
Visit the Bud Bench
DIRECTIONS From the zoo entrance go to the left toward the Carruth Natural Encounters building. Follow the covered pathway until it dead ends at the Wortham World of Primates. Bud’s (Brad’s) Bench is the first bench to the left when you enter by the Patas Monkey under the large, beautiful oak tree.
SHARE YOUR VISIT
We would love to collect photos Bud’s Bench visitors and share them here. If you make it to the bench, please snap a photo and share it with us! You can post it to Brad’s Facebook page, tag them with #budsbench or e-mail them to Courtney.
