The booking decision is the one to think through. Tickets booked online in advance come with an early-booking discount, but online tickets are not refunded, and the zoo notes that its play areas and other locations can close in certain weather conditions, as well as for emergencies or maintenance. Booking early saves money; waiting keeps you flexible.
Children under three get in free, but you still need to reserve a free child ticket for them online before you go.
For meals, the restaurants offer vegetarian alternatives. There is also a shaded picnic spot at Magnolia, though it has limited opening. GaiaOntbijt, a breakfast at restaurant Acacia, has to be reserved online in advance and does not include zoo entry.
