Overall, this is a great place to take kids. The aquarium area is really nice. Kids loved the sting ray tank where you can really get close to them and pet them. The tank has tunnels under it so kids can actually get away from the parents and crawl to the back corner of the tank and come up in the middle of the tank (making it a big hit for kids). This zoo also has a great outdoor kids area! Cool slides (I wished I could try them myself!), climbing ropes (one is very huge and is actually a ladder going up a hill side which is a climbing device to the slides), tunnels, train, tram, merry-go-round, boats, and a suspended bridge! The animals seem to have appropriate areas to move, which I find to be a problem at some zoos. On the down side, some of the outside parts of the zoo look dated or run down and the robotic diving exhibit was out of order in the aquarium area when we were there to visit.
