This zoo is amazing. The membership is worth it if you live nearby. Great way to spend the day.

Nursing Mom alert: nursing room is available but there is only one at this giant zoo. They should install more because the privacy and A/C away from the crowds is a good retreat if you are traveling with a newborn.

Decent availability of food. You can pack your own cooler, this I definitely recommend for drinks and snacks. Then enjoy lunch at great nearby restaurants. My favorite is Katz Deli.
