DS1 we went to zoo on his 1st birthday. DS2 was about 8 weeks old! DS2 went to aquarium at 2 weeks off age!

Is your friend serious? Of course they'll have fun!!! (maybe she's jealous )

I regularly take my girls (3yrs and 13mths) to the local wildlife sanctuary which is like a zoo and we feed the kangaroos, feed the birds, look at the koalas, the snakes, the shows, so much to do!!!! We always LOVE it! We ride the train.... it's such a fun thing to do and we get so much out of our yearly pass. I have been taking DD1 since she was 18mths and we NEVER tire of it.....

Have fun! It's so educational for them.

the first time we went to the zoo the kids were 4, 2 and 9 months. It was just canberra zoo which i thought was a good one for kids that age. Then we did Dubbo zoo when the kids were 8, 6, 5 and 2 and it was fine. DS2 still remembers some of it and we have all the photos too. So what if you have to eventually do it again some day so they actually remember going to the zoo? Just because you go once doesn't mean you can't go again. I don't understand that logic. If you waited till they were old enough to remember doing something, you'd never do anything!
