I think the Zoo is perhaps the best zoo I have ever visited. The animals seem happy. It is a great outing for children and the boat ride over even better. Although I reccommend taking the trolley back rather than the boat because with the trolley you are able to catch glimpses of the Garden District which is also a nice attraction.
Pros: Not terribly expensiv, Reccomend boat ride, Reccomend trolley
Cons: long walk to the zoo
