We are at the zoo very frequently due to having an active preschooler. We appreciate the playground and the buses, and mommy enjoys the new couches and umbrellas at the far end of the bridge. Nice place for a snack! We recommend getting the keeper club pass for a small family - as it allows access to all the buses and also lets you bring in grandma etc (1 free guest plus kid under 3 whenever you visit!) The summer is great because they have fun shows etc that you can keep busy with during that tough time between 5pm and bedtime. Pro tip - if you have a keeper club pass you can use the private entrance at the exit and skip the crowd!
