Many people do not realize that the word “zoo” is actually short for the term “zoological garden.” A zoo is a place where animals are kept in a restricted, artificial environment, and are exhibited to the public. Most large cities around the world have zoos. In some cities, their zoos are the largest tourist attraction they have to offer. Major zoos can be so important to a city's tourism industry that local governments may subsidize or underwrite the zoo's operating expenses, although most zoo funding comes primarily from private donations and entrance fees. Zoos are significant for their educational value, and are commonly a destination for school field trips.

Go online to research visitor information for the zoo you choose. Sometimes zoo websites have printable coupons for a dollar or two off a single adult or family admission. Find out about extra activities, such as pony rides, petting zoos, shows, wild life exhibits, gardens, or birthday parties. To find the best zoo near you, look in your local phone book or in online directory listings. Zoos are ideal entertainment outlets for children, as they allow kids to get up close and personal with the animals. Get costs and admission beforehand, as well as parking amenities. When deciding how to choose the best zoo for you and your children, contact a few different zoos for hours, location, food, attractions, petting zoos and shows, rides, directions, and weather policies. If you’re interested in holding your kid’s birthday party at a zoo, inquire about treasure hunts for kids, games for families, safaris, cake, outings, favors, and food. If you’re a tourist visiting a certain area, go online beforehand to find out which zoos are operating while you’re there. Print out hours, directions, visitors information, and location before heading out so you’ll have the information at the ready. Keep in mind that zoo animals are usually kept in some type of enclosure such as a cage to keep themselves and the public safe. They resemble the animal’s natural home, such as a tropics or the forest. Baby and adult zoo animals can include gorilla babies, polar bears, tigers, apes, mammals, exotic wildlife, reptiles, lions, giraffes, birds, elephants, and deer. It all depends on what you want to see first. Make certain wild life, gardens, aviary exhibits, baby animals, and family attractions a priority and see those first in order to make your fun holiday adventure at the theme park a memorable one.
