My family loves the zoo. We buy a membership every year, which is really the best way to go. With a membership you can go for a half hour or spend the day. The walk is terrific exercise and the signs are pretty clear. I love that they are constantly updating the zoo. The new Tundra exhibit is great, and you can finally see the wolves. I love the Jellies in the Australasia exhibit. I look forward to the new penguin exhibit next year. The zoo has an excellent website with a full list of which exhibits are open and closed, as well as which animals have had babies. I would recommend spending a couple of minutes online checking this out before you go.
