As a kid I loved the place; but this time wasn't as memorable for my family. It was hot so the great majority of the animals were inside and unavailable. We saw maybe a handful of large animals. The staff was great. Knowledgeable and apologetic. If you are going to plan it for a family vacation make sure to do it in the coolest time possible so you can actually see animals.
