Going with two kids by myself was a lot easier than I was expecting, however the kids weren’t quite impressed with anything (neither was I), especially since my three year old really wanted to see giraffes and elephants and there was none.

I wouldn’t say that we wouldn’t come back, but next time I would go when they have more animals out, and during the activities and shows they have throughout the day.

But I am really looking into exploring more Utah with the kids, so give me some tips 🙏🏻
