A day at the National Zoological Park is shaped by what you are allowed to carry through the gate, and that is the trade-off here. Food is not permitted, with an exception for milk for infants. Bags are limited to a handbag or a laptop or camera in its case, and polythene bags are banned outright. A cloakroom takes luggage for a small fee, so a family day bag can be checked in rather than taken round the zoo.
Battery-operated vehicles, run by a licensed private operator, are an extra-cost option inside the zoo, with under-fives riding free. Wheelchairs are lent free of charge.
