We went with some friends and their DS who is older and was able to look at some of the animals and kind of get it. DS just rode in the stroller happily and slept most of the time, but we somehow had two MAJOR diaper blowouts and once there was no place to change him so I ended up having to just lay his changing pad down in the grass, LOL. I noticed some people giving me looks of pity.
Re: First trip to the zoo today!
Holy cow your zoo is cheap! That's awesome! Our's is $125 for season passes for me, DD1, and DH. LO falls into the under 2 yr free category. If we want to add a guest pass to be able to bring an additional person, like a grandma or a friend, it's an extra $70! Too much for me.
