Get a family membership if you plan to go more than a couple of times a year. And you should - it is great to be able to just go for a couple of hours at a time, explore just a specific area, and not worry about getting everything in in one day while your kids get tired and antsy. It's a shame that the railway and the carousel close down in the winter. We really like to go to the zoo on nice days in the winter and fall when there seem to be less people but then we can't enjoy the rides, as well as access the more remote refreshment stands.
