What families say

Plan on about two hours to see everything, which reviewers found to be a manageable, not-overwhelming size — good news for families with younger kids. Highlights include elephants, orangutans, and a red panda that one family called a rare and exciting find; stroller-friendly paths and play areas for little ones are a plus. A few things to plan around: food options can be limited or closed in colder months and are pricey, so packing your own lunch is worth considering, and some animal exhibits and the kids' area may be less accessible depending on the season and weather.
