Most definitely worth the drive! I took my daughters who are 16 and 17 and even they had a good time! Pack some patience if you didn't purchase your ticket online especially on the weekend. Get there early because most of the animals are asleep by 3pm. Parking was easy. Just follow the signs for parking but be prepared to walk back. Wear comfortable shoes because it is all walk no ride here lol. If you don't want to break the bank they allow outside food but it must be in a cooler. I repeat WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES! No flip flops, no flats, no open toe sandals preferably something with a soft sole.
