What families say

Families rave about the variety of animals (pandas, orangutans, lions and tigers) and the well-maintained, spacious grounds, with the panda feeding a frequent favorite moment for kids. Plan for a few hours of walking, expect crowds especially on weekdays with school field trips or weekends, and bring water since summer heat is a factor (though mist stations help). A few practical notes: signage can be confusing near the entrance, restrooms aren't always easy to find, and weekend parking runs around $40 even though admission is free.
