A day at the zoo is the prototypical childhood experience.
Adults find plenty to enjoy here, too, but it's the child — first in arms, then
in a backpack, then in a stroller and finally under his or her own
lumbering power — who truly comes alive at the zoo. Washington has one of the
best zoos in the country, and your family should be frequent visitors. But
there also are other less obvious choices to consider, from Baltimore's
especially kid-friendly zoo to privately run animal operations that let you do
something you can't at the National Zoo: touch the merchandise. And don't forget
how aquariums also can light up children's eyes and minds.
