The weather didn’t help very much, but there were several exhibitions that were closed or under construction. They have a big variety of reptiles super cool! We really enjoy our time at the zoo. Full review by titarica

Would you recommend this zoo as an outing for a one year old? I want to take my daughter somewhere special for her birthday and she loves animals. However, some people have told me that the animals may be hard for her to see in their exhibits. My other idea was an aquarium where the fish are easier to see behind the glass. Thoughts? Ideas?
A:
Zoo is awesome for smaller children.Our great grandson, age four, has been going there regularly for his entire life. Never an issue seeing. Aquarium is also fun, but usually very crowded
