You have to go here at least once, but you should certainly eat beforehand, or just plan on filling up on the free, yummy sopapillas. It is an experience like no other -- melodrama with gorilla suits, cliff diving, creepy Ignacio's Cave, a mariachi band, really, it's like the Disneyland of Mexican restaurants. My little one enjoys the site, but it is better for bigger kids 4 or 5 + and adults.

We joined the zoo as members when my son was not even a year old, and he now knows all the animal names and sounds. He just loves going there, and it's a super kid-friendly place. There is, unfortunately, quite a bit of construction going on right now so if you don't live here, it certainly won't live up to some other city's zoos, but they have some nice exhibits and when the new one is ready it will be even better!
