    There are no rules, but you should definitely avoid using uncomfortable shoes. Remember that you'll be out and about all day. A lot of things will work, as long as you are comfortable and enjoying the time with who you're with.

    If it's a hot day, try wearing shorts and a t-shirt with a print or pattern. Don't forget to add a fun hat to keep the sun off your face while also adding some style to your outfit. A wide brim floppy hat works for girls, while this is a great opportunity for boys to wear a baseball cap.

  • Question
    What if I don’t have a hat to protect my head from the sun?
    Community Answer
    Often there will be a Zoo shop, where you can buy a hat from and help support the zoo as well. If you cannot do this or can't afford one, ask if it's possible to borrow one, and ask if you can have some sunscreen as well. Another option is to ask for an umbrella, as many zoos provide these for free, and use it as a sunshade rather than a rain cover–it will work well for this.
