@motherotter i do both and have with all of my kids... its a learning experience and maybe your kids wont remember the exact day or time but guess what they will remember the lessons in life... everything in life can be a learning experience even a walk to the store or shopping

I've gone to both with her. It's still good stimulation. I had a year pass to the aquarium in GA when I lived there, now I have a pass to the Zoo out here in Colorado. It's a great place to take them.

@motherotter, I think it could be a great bonding experience for y'all! Just tell him that even if your son won't remember it, y'all will be spending time together as a family :)

I guess if I can't get him to go then I can get my mom to go with us. We would go by ourselves but I don't have a car right now.

I'll tell him that and see if it makes a difference @twinsandcounting,

You will remember it. I love going to the zoo and aquarium and use the little one as an excuse haha she'll still enjoy looking at the fishes.

We took ours babies last month. It's not necessarily always about the memories. Sometimes it's about letting the baby enjoy something in the moment. And maybe you and your SO can make it a memory for yourselves.
