The Minnesota Zoo is an all-day event with all they have to see, both inside and out.
When you pay your admission/parking, you will receive a daily schedule and zoo map. We always take a quick look over, so we can decided what we want to see and when. Some attractions are at opposite ends of the zoo, so you want to manage your time a little.
We seen the bird show for the first time on our last visit and I can't say enough about the fun we had. I don't want to ruin it for anyone, but I will say that birds do fly free in the auditorioum - right over your head!
The outside animals are grouped by region - they had a few newcomers this year, so that was fun to see.
The dolphin show is also always a hit - they have a new baby as well.
Great food options, they have the imax and the main gift shop is pretty fun to browse through.
