My family lives about 10 minutes from the LA Zoo so with a 2 year old it was a no brainier to get the Family Deluxe membership. My daughter and I go for a couple of hours on Saturdays to see all of her favorite animals (and to give mommy a little break). We love how close the encounters are and that the animals are outside so frequently with the constant great weather and lots of tree coverage. It is very well connected to jump around from area to area. Grab a map if you don't know your way around but it's definitely worth the modest price of admission.
