A friend of mine took her kids the weekend after thanksgiving and she said it was great. It was still so early in the season that it wasn't too crowded, and the weather that weekend was so warm I do think it gets more crowded the closer you get to Christmas. I have passes from the Living Social a few weeks ago, so I think we're going to try to go the Friday before Christmas, depending on the weather. If not, we'll go before New Years.
We have gone before when it was crowded closer to Christmas. It wasn't bad once you got in since the zoo is so big but parking was a huge pain. I think it's a lot of fun, just very COLD.

We actually ended up going tonight. We got there right at 5pm and there were plenty of parking spaces available. DD loved it! The only downfall was Panda Claus wasn't there tonight doing pics with the kids. They did have one dancing in the snow globe so we did get to see him.
