You can even leave and come back later. Lots of fun options for kiddos. Playground, reading room, basketball area, soccer area, ninja area, toddler area, etc. They even have an area for you to eat (bring in food if you wish or they have vending machines). Clean up after yourself (please). Great option to get the wiggles out on a cold or snowy winter day!

Sure, going to Hawaii is great, but if you want something closer and thousands of dollars less expensive (it's actually free, but they suggest you give them a small donation upon entry), I recommend a quick trip to the indoor conservatory. Save the zoo for a nice summer day. My two favorite areas are the topics, and the Sunken Garden. The tropics is the place to go for a hot, steamy reprieve from the Minnesota winter. It has lots of fun swimming animals, a sloth that is about as lively as a stuffed bear, but the biggest attraction, for me, is the incredible hot, moist area. But that's just one area of the Conservatory. Don't miss the larger part that includes jungle-type foliage, wonderful plants, and a display of orchids. We were there the weekend after the orchid show, but we were treated to the award winning and amazingly beautiful orchids. The highlight however, is the seasonal changes that take place in the Sunken Garden. This is an ever changing variety of seasonal flowers and can cheer up the crankiest of us who are just trying to make it through to Spring.

My two faves hands down were the Conservation Carousel (requires token purchase) and the Llama Walk. The carousel features an incredible variety of critters you can ride, and I had a tough time picking which one I wanted. The employees operating the ride were very kind, allowing me extra time to get photos (I'm a big fan of carousels). A ride costs $4, which is kinda steep since it's really only a couple minutes long, buuut you figure it's going to a good cause. The llama walk was delightful because the llamas were free-roaming, not behind a fence, so they could walk right up to you (which many did). I definitely found myself giggling more than once. Also special to this place is a splash pad and a jungle gym. I had intended to enjoy both, but again, my in-laws were kind of dictating the trip (they paid), so I missed out. But next time I'll for sure run around in the water and go down the slide (I'm a kid at heart- age is just a number!). There were also occasional backdrop photo ops around the outdoor areas which was great for someone like me who loves selfies. Another neat feature is their Treetop Trail, which essentially goes all the way around the outdoor sections but from around 12 feet above as a suspended boardwalk. Not quite as shady, for obvious reasons, but also less crowded and avoids some of the random elevation changes. Cool to have multiple ways to experience the park, imo! The aquarium section is mid. That's okay. The tropical section was amazing! The lemurs were especially cute. We didn't end up seeing the farm exhibit, nature center, dino explore, or North American section. Like I said, we missed out on a lot, regrettably. :\ Dumb when it's $26/a head for adults, plus $10 for parking. I'll have to come back some other time, perhaps when they are done with the construction currently going on for the snow monkies. Giftshop had many cute things. The standard stuff you'd expect to find: t-shirts and apparel, plushies, toys, magnets, keychains, pins, patches, stickers, figurines. Lots of bathrooms and water bottle refill stations/water fountains scattered about, so no worries about staying well hydrated! Overall it was a very nice, well-maintained, modern facility!

Staff is always happy and helpful. The volunteers love what they do-it's always a treat to talk to them while there. I love that they have both indoor and outdoor parts, so nice to be able to get outside. I do feel like the farm has been disappointing this year compared to past years and when I grew up going. There is currently construction happening outside at the zoo-they're redoing the snow monkeys enclosure. I am very excited for that to be done as it will help with the walk ability outside near that area. All in all, I love our zoo and definitely recommend a membership. They even make a great present! I remember growing up with a zoo membership and am so happy to be able to give that back to my daughter.

HOT TIP: It gets busier the later it gets into the night, but don't worry - the sun sets early so you'll still see plenty if you go in the earliest group! We felt like we hacked the system getting right in - as we walked out, we saw a huuuuge line forming. GO EARLY! Plus, going early means you get much better parking spots and have space to walk around and enjoy. So many pumpkins, expertly carved, with absolute masterpieces on each one!
