A visit to the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden will transport you into a world of wonder filled with nature, animals, and experiences that will make your trip one to remember. To ensure that you fully enjoy every single part of your visit, you need to come prepared. Planning ahead and taking some of the following tips into consideration will help everyone in your party enjoy their visit that much more.
Download a Map
This zoo is large, and there’s so much to see. If you’ve never visited before, make sure you download the map beforehand so that you can at least look at the park from a bird’s eye view and start to plan your itinerary. If your goal is to see everything in one visit, a map will ensure that you don’t miss a thing.
Wear Comfortable Shoes
The Cincinnati Zoo is large, and you will be doing a lot of walking, so make sure that you wear comfortable shoes so that you don’t wake up with a blister the next day. If you plan on bringing young children, don’t forget your stroller. If you do need a way to transport someone to your party through the zoo, you’ll have the option of renting a stroller or a wheelchair.
Bring Sunscreen
One important way to ensure that you have the best visit possible to the zoo is to bring sun protection. Even if the day is overcast, you’ll be at risk for sunburn since you’ll be spending most of your day outside. Waking up with a sunburn the next day is never fun, so to avoid any future discomfort, make sure that everyone in your group has the sun protection they need. Hats, sunglasses, and spray-on sunscreen are simple ways to protect everyone from the sun. With spray-on sunscreen, you can reapply as needed and won’t have to spend time messing with thick, rub-on lotions.
Pack Snacks
If you’re visiting with kids, make sure you pack snacks so that no one gets irritable. If you plan on staying for lunch, you’ll have more than enough food options, thanks to the zoo’s extensive lineup of restaurants. You’ll be able to get some soft serve ice cream at one of the stands and even enjoy a full-service meal at one of the several restaurants, like the Base Camp Cafe.
Consider a Membership
If you can’t nearly fit all your planned activities into one trip, consider investing in a membership. With different options to choose from, a membership will save you money and give you the ability to visit whenever you want, so you will be able to see everything the zoo has to offer at your pace.
