Going to the zoo!


Question Posted Thursday March 31 2022, 11:15 am

32 female
My sister is taking me to the zoo for my birthday even though my birthday is in April we are going in May because that's when my nephew gets out of school. I was wondering what do I need to bring for a day trip at the zoo?

This depends upon where you live. In some places you would do well to bring sun tan lotion, while in others, you may need a parka if its snowing!

Wear comfortable walking shoes. Take as much money as is available, and/or a credit card. Decide if you are going to buy food there or bring your own. A camera is always nice to have along.

Take a hat and/or sunglasses.

When I go somewhere with others, I also like to bring along something to do, such as a little book or crossword puzzles. You may find yourself having to wait around while they do something you don't want to do.

Lastly, take something comfortable to put your belongings in and travel light. E.G., a small backpack comes in handy . Enjoy yourself and being with your family! Dr. Stephanie

If its the whole day practically, you will need to eat, drink, and if weather changes from one temp to another, you might need to dress in layers, a sleeve less top covered by a hoodie or sweater. If its really cold still where you live,(have to mention with the crazy weather around the nation) then winter wear.
If its really hot, I've been out without sun screen and gotten sun burn just from going to a street fair, so bring that. Bring your phone, money for anything you might want to buy there. If there are concession stands with food and drink, either buy food there or bring your own. I usually take a bottled water when I know I will be away from home, even if they sell it there because I will likely go through more than a bottle's worth liquid to drink but can cut costs by not having to buy as many drinks. If you have a camera other than whats in your cell phone, then bring that. You may want to take some pics. Sunglasses if sunny. Then think of other things you may want on hand if you are away from home. If masks are still required, at the zoo in May, then bring yours, if you have any medical conditions that would require an epi pen or an inhaler for asthma, then bring those things. Think about situations like that unique to you that you may not want to forget. At this point, if I am carrying more than can fit in my purse, I'll take some big bag like a beach bag and stuff all my things including select items from my purse in there, like wallet, keys, etc. Have a fun outing!
