I greatly enjoyed going here with my family. However the cons heavily outweighed the pros of the trip, which we of course did not let that hinder our day as a family.

Cons- 1)There are no warning signs of the infestation of bees and yellow jackets which my wife is highly allergic to, and has yet to be determined if our children are as well. We could not stop without having several bees landing on all of us. We had to constantly keep moving, which is not very convenient since the entire zoo is on a slope.
2)There were several work trucks for 21st Century Fox along with tons of people on the filming crew blocking areas for filming, leading us to constantly detour throughout the entire day. THESE WERE THINGS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED AT THE TICKET GATE!!!

3) The guard rails have a lot of bushes and decor blocking the kids from being able to see the animals, you will be picking them up at nearly every spot so they can see the animals. I have 3 boys (a 3 y/o and twin 1 y/o's) The twins spent most of their time in the stroller since it was next to impossible to constantly pick all three up to see at every stop. Luckily they were content with just being outside.

You will be using a lot of foot work on your trip so use some good shoes, because it is not a sandal friendly environment.

Pros- Food was decent and not too expensive( $18 for 2 slices of pizza and 2 salads, no drinks). We were allowed to bring our own snacks and drinks. PARKING WAS FREE!!!!
