Great day to take the little ones to the zoo today. Arrived fairly early and had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see. Obviously, we always check to see what’s going on at the zoo before…Full review by Y6786YGpaulaw

Look at the experiences on the app for the Columbus zoo. Be advised some can be rather expensive and some only happen on certain days of the eeek. Get there early to ensure that you get a scooter since it’s first come first serve. The hours for the date you are planning to go are also on the app. It is a very large zoo so plan to be there all day.
