If you have to use the bathroom go to the first bathrooms you see because the rest are really far. I would suggest taking the shuttle to the opposite side of the park. This way you can work your way back going towards your starting point. They have strollers, double strollers and motorized chairs for rent. If you're not crazy about fried fast food bring your own meal. There's at least 4 places to eat on the zoo grounds. Funnel cake is in Asia not too far from the camel ride. Please buy the the total experience tickets other wise you can't do the best things like the monorail, children's zoo, bug carousel, dinosaur safari or the Gorilla congo. If you get the regular priced tickets you will have to pay extra at these sights. If you're interested there is a ziplining course called Tree Tops on the premises as well. Save the Dino safari for last the line is usually 1 hour plus wait. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes. My feet were dying in my flip flops. Although you can find lots of shade behind the large trees be sure to bring water, sunscreen and maybe a hat.
