Great place to visit for a family with kids. There is a paid parking lot next to the zoo, but it may take some time to find a space on a busy day. It's probably a smart decision to pay for a day parking if you want to walk slowly and enjoy watching and learning the animals + combine with a snack break in the zoo.
There are many shadow areas in the zoo so it's reasonable even during hot summer days, but be ready to walk a lot :)
