I once went as an adult because I had friends from away visiting and I had always wanted to go but my family never brought me as a kid. It was incredibly, massively depressing. When I told my grandmother about it a few days later, she said now I knew why they never brought me and we instead went to Gray Animal Farm when I was little (which I loved).

Please don’t bring them. Educate them about how animals should be living and maybe promise to bring them to a better animal park for a big, fun family trip.
