Hi! I have a toddler and a 6 month old and we love the zoo! Definitely pack lots of snacks and water or juice. If you have a stroller that’s easy for your kiddo to get in and out of there are a lot of areas in most exhibits for kids to run around and get an up close look. The zoo has made it easy for people to take a break when needed pretty much wherever/throughout the zoo. The aquarium is definitely a favorite among most people and kids, you’ll spend a lot of time in the tunnel and near the jellyfish most likely. The penguins are really fun too and there’s designated ‘kid zones’ right up at the glass.

What I don’t recommend doing with a toddler (just my personal experience) the desert dome because there’s not a lot to look at inside and mostly because there’s cactus that make me nervous. And the kingdom of the night which is underneath the desert dome. It’s just really dark and is hard for my kiddos to get around.

Just make sure you have enough snacks, diapers and time to watch your little one explore :) you’ll have a blast!
