- Get the full package with all of the attractions, even adults. We enjoyed the Rio show and Journey to the Center of the Earth (well, a few of us got a little nauseous, but the kids loved it). We rode the train to the back to start the day and walked toward the front. Good move. We also loved the carousel.
- You can take strollers on train, despite the signs that say otherwise. I had to run to the back to catch up to the train and the back train station is not clearly identified.
- Canvas shoes are cool for pics. Not cool for walking around the zoo. Big blisters. Will, one of my twin boys, had to take his shoes off for almost 2 hours. A little unsanitary, but his blister was bulging.
- Wild Kratts watching enhanced the zoo experience.
- Bring your own waters. They are plenty of places to fill up the water. Waters there cost $3.
- Sunscreen a must. I suggest shades for adults and hats for kids.
- Now that the youngest in the group is 4, a lot more fun.
- Lions, peacocks, and rhinos were big hits.
- Royal Oak Brewery has good kids' food, nice bathrooms, and Korean tacos.
- 3 hours is all you need to make the rounds.
Specific questions? You always can email me.
Good tips..except for one: adult males should leave the shades for the kids and just meet the daylight with their bare eyes open.
