Great day trip! It's always a pleasure to visit. Soooo much to see, but soooo little time. There's staff pretty much everywhere in case you need directions/info. Food is pricey and less than average (bland). Loved the Bug Carousel, Madagascar exhibit and the Kid's Zoo. One advice: If you feel you may go more than once within a year, just get the annual pass, the difference from a day pass is around $20 (assuming a party of 3), extra $30 if you include parking (if not, it's $17 per day).
