Human: At what age is good for a child to go to the zoo?

Assistant: A child can certainly enjoy a trip to the zoo, but whether or not it’s a good idea for that particular child depends on what the parents hope to achieve from the experience.  If the parents want to teach the child a new word like “zebra”, for instance, then it’s not too early for a child to be introduced to new concepts like animals and where they live.


Human: At what age is good for a child to go to the zoo?

Assistant: You can always ask your local zoo about this, but here are a few pieces of information that could help you figure it out:

The first is that many zoos include a special “petting zoo”, where kids can touch the animals. These are often built into the zoo, but they can also be located in an outside enclosure. Some zoos include a special “play area” which is for kids to run around and play in, as well as specific areas for toddlers and young children. The second thing to note is that at many zoos, the animals can be seen closer to at certain times of the day, or on certain days of the week, depending on the number of visitors. The last thing to keep in mind is that although you can generally interact with animals, it’s recommended to be careful not to feed any of them, as this can make them aggressive towards people.
