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

Can I wear sunglasses?

Community Answer

Of course! However, some zoos have rides. Be sure to secure your sunglasses in a locker or purse - - or ask a friend or family member to hold them for you -- while you're riding.

Question

Should I wear my school uniform pants or jeans?

Community Answer

I think you'd be more comfortable in the pants. You'll be able to bend down more easily and they can stretch more.

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.

Question

Is it okay to wear a simple ring? Mine is small and isn't very fancy.

Community Answer

Yes, you can wear jewelry as long as you wouldn't be in huge trouble if it got lost. Obviously, you should do your best to keep track of your belongings so nothing does get lost, but these things happen.

What shoes should I wear? I have converse or bigger fila shoes?

Sage Hallock

Community Answer

You do a lot of walking so I suggest rubber shoes. I have Stan Smith ones and it also works for when I am on my feet so I feel blessed.
