Great place to take the kids, and for a zoo, a fairly decent place to be a captive animal.

Food is available, fairly affordable, and generally very convenient and child friendly. If you live in the area, an annual pass pays itself in 3 visits, especially when you consider that parking fees are including in the pass. The sister, and better known zoo is in Antwerp, and it also merits a visit. This one, however, is covers much more ground and keeps kids entertained in all sorts of ways.
