The Virginia Zoo is a great time for the whole family!  Just about everything is outdoors, so go on a nice weather day.  There are quite a few animals to look at. The employees at the park are especially helpful. They pointed out to us the zoo babies so we could be sure to visit. They also told my boys the names of some of the animals so they could yell out "Hi Billy!" to the male giraffe when we visited him. They're open all year long so visiting in the off season can be very advantageous. They have plans to open a whole new exhibit, called Trail of the Tiger, in 2010.  Entrance prices and the membership prices are very reasonable.   Wheelchair and stroller rentals available.  It is a very pleasant way to spend a few hours.

FAMILY FRIENDLY PROS-   Lots to see.  Friendly staff.  A great way to spend a sunny day!
FAMILY FRIENDLY CONS-  No outside food allowed inside.
