Great zoo with very easy parking. If you live in the area, the membership is definitely worth it (I'd recommend getting the unlimited rides option for the train and carousel). If you're only there for the day, you may want to do some planning. It's a pretty large zoo, so you likely won't be able to see it all in a day if you're traveling with young kids. My top picks are the "Festival of Lights" at Christmastime and the "Night Hunters" exhibit (indoor, year-round).
