They have added cheetahs to their already large variety of animals...and it's even great for kids in the summer because there is a little water park that the kids can run through to cool down. Also, the daily dolphin shows are a great way for the kids to relax out of the heat while still having fun.

Also included in your ticket (or membership) is entrance to the White River Gardens. Beautiful to walk outdoors (frequent site for weddings on the weekends) and from March-September the conservatory is filled with butterflies. My girls love to watch them hatching from cocoons and picking out their favorite colors.
Don't discount the zoo at winter time. You'll practically have the zoo to yourself. Not all animals will be outdoors but the Oceans, Plains, and Dolphin exhibits are entirely indoors.
