This zoo is fun to go to, but I do not suggest waiting later in the day to go since they close at 5 pm. Wish they stayed open until at least 7 pm or so. It's a hot summer, so don't expect a lot of animals to be out much that aren't surrounded by lots of foliage. The souvenir pics are cute, and the employees handling them are very nice. There is an abundance of walking, but that's parts of the fun - at least for me, honestly. They do have a tram that goes around and stops at several spots. You can get off and on at any of the designated spots if you pay for a day pass - $5 for adults, $2.50 for each kid. However, no small hot dog or slice of pizza should cost $12, but it is L.A. so expect increased pricing.
