Something people should know about is you pay for parking when you leave. When you drive into the parking lot the machines take a picture of your license plate so you don't have to take a paper ticket. Once you've parked, you can proceed into the zoo entrance. After you spent your day and are ready to leave, go to the machines and pay for your parking. Just enter your licence plate. If you don't do this, you will get a tickey in the mail. It's 12$. That being said the zoo is very nice. It has pandas in it including red pandas. I suggest you bring an umbrella to hide from the sun because it's mostly all outside. Definitely recommend going back
