A trip to the zoo is one of those things that you mean to do more often but you don’t quite get around to, and then, oops, the kids are off to college.
Put that trip to the zoo back on the front burner. It’s worth the effort to both check out the local zoos in your area and to pencil in a stop when traveling as a family.

Educational Value

A visit to the zoo is an educational experience for kids and adults of all ages. It’s one thing to read about animals or see them in a documentary; it’s another thing entirely to view them in real life.
