The zoo is a great place to take the family. However, I made the mistake of taking my son for his one year birthday in November and we hardly saw any animals. It was a very cold day and we did not even see polar bears. None of the restaurants were open and the only gift shop that was open was the one at the entrance to the zoo. It was very disappointing for all of us, however, because it was so cold they only charged us half price.
