If you're going to the zoo, plan to reach in the morning, later in the day the animal sightings would be fewer due to the heat. The bus tour was an average experience for us, but if you do plan to take it, opt for the lower deck for a better view for kids. Kids would love the areal tram ride and 4d happy feet movie. Also be ready to wait in long lines if you want to view the panda. Really tiring place for older people.
