I’ve been multiple times with little ones – as a tiny baby (more for photos and as a family outing) once about 12 -18 months when they are showing more interest and again at around 2-3 years
I think kids of all ages get something out of the zoo. Either looking at the animals or hearing them. It’s always exciting and you can teach them things according to their levels – so for little ones you can teach them the names of the animals. For toddlers you could teach them the name of the animal and their sound and colours, for older kids you could talk about the habitat, what they eat etc.
We first started going when my daughter was 15 months. She loved it. We have zoo memberships so we sometimes just pop into healesville sanctuary for a few hours. She is not far off 3 has been to Melbourne zoo 3 times, werribee once, and healesville humorous times
I took my daughter age 2 and she loved the animals but got tired quick and didn’t remember much. at age three she was better able to understand the animals and showed more interest, she could ask questions and gain a good knowledge and experience.
I took my three year old and my one year old and I could clearly see the interest. Try a wildlife park also, they get to feed and touch some animals, its a beautiful experience.
