Zoo -- if you get a yearly pass, you can stop by for a few hours several times instead of having to "make a day of it" and getting tired and cranky -- you can also reinforce earlier visits and go during the weekday when the crowds are at work and school, a real luxury.

The deer wandered voluntarily through the zoo
