Naples Zoo, anyone?

We are heading to Naples after x-mas and are looking for some things to do with the babies.  It's gonna be on the chilly side the first part of the week so the pool or beach is out until the 70's surface.  Is the zoo worth checking out?  I'm not setting my expectations high because we have a pretty sweet zoo, here in Chicago, but it's something the babies might enjoy.  I know most of you are not from the Naples area, but does anyone have any other suggestions of things to do in Naples or close by?  Thanks!

    It's no Brookfield, but I would still check it out. Dh and I went there over the summer for the first time and we really enjoyed it. It takes a few hours at most to see all the exhibits so it's drastically different from Brookfield in that respect, but worth the trip IMO.

    We went in April and were not impressed.  I have pics in my fb album "Vacation 2010".  Basically we thought is was too small for what they charged for admission.

    By chance, do you recall what they charged for admission?

    I do not recall exactly but their website says $19.95 which sounds about right.  We were done with all of the exhibits within an hour.

    There ae always 50% off coupons in the paper. Even if you don't get one, there is a discount for pre-paying online. Just set your expectations really really low. That's what we did because we are so used to Chicago area zoos and we made the best of the small zoo and enjoyed it!

    I live in Naples and it took me a while to come up with just a few things you could do: 

    King Richards - family fun park - rides for the kids, games, go-carts, batting cages, and a small water park area

    Naples Pier - you can watch the fisherman and almost always see dolphins

    Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary - Hiking trails to see wildlife

    Marco Island - I love Marco...there are things to do, but you should have a plan before you go.

    5th Avenue - Upscale shopping and restaurants

    Naples Princess - a sightseeing cruise  

    Hope that helps!!!  Enjoy your trip!
