"If you have a child who loves the zoo.. then this is the video for you. My son loves going to the zoo and he enjoys Barney music so this was a perfect video. I wasn't sure if this video had actually LIVE zoo animals or if they were going to use pretend ones... this is the real stuff! You see Elephants, Hippos, Lions and so much more. It felt like you were really at the zoo. Barney, B.J. & Baby-Bop took you on the zoo trip from starting out by buying you a ticket to getting you a drink of lemonade to great info. about the animals and let's not forget about the Barney animal songs. It is a purchase you won't be disappointed with.. My 10 & 8 yrs olds watch it along with my 5 yr old!!"
A must have for every child

"My 16 month old granddaughter loves Barney but the only Barney video she would watch was "Sing and Dance with Barney". We bought other Barney videos that she wouldn't give the time of day to. When we bought "Let's Go to the Zoo", we figured she wouldn't watch it either but we wanted to give it a try since she loves animals. She absolutely loves it and we watch it many, many times a day. You get to see so many different animals close up. I know all the words to all the songs. There is just something about Barney, Baby Bob and BJ with all of those wonderful animals. If you are not able to get to the Fort Worth Zoo, you can see it all on video. Simply magnificant and highly recommended. I think I'll buy another in the event she wears this one out."
A DELIGHTFUL VIDEO FOR KIDS & ADULTS

"My 1 year old son received this tape as a gift and it is his absolute favorite tape (and his first introduction to Barney). It is shot on location at the Fort Worth Zoo which lends such a pleasant and sunny atmosphere. The songs are very catchy, and I often find myself singing along or them playing in my head during the day! They are simple but instructive songs such as "Everybody Needs A Nap", "Have A Snack", "Growing" and the wonderful song and dance intro "Lets Go to the Zoo". The choreography is perfect. Even though this is for kids, Barney, BJ and Baby Bop's tour of the zoo and their description of each animal is very interesting as well as adorable. Barney's cheerful, polite and gentle demeanor are a beautiful example for any child. I must say, in all aspects this video is beautifully produced."
My baby loves it!

"This tape is excellent! It took my baby several viewing to like it, but once she did, she really liked it! Barney, B.J. and Baby Bop go to the zoo and see many animals like Elephants, Lions, Tigers, Parrots, Tortises, Kangaroos, Hippos, Merkats and Bears. The songs are very good! Half are new and half are the same ones. I particarly like the Elephant and Tiger songs a lot. My baby loves The Wiggles and only one other Barney video, Sing And Dance With Barney. After several viewing of this tape she fell in love with it. Now she giggles at B.J. and Baby Bops anitics, as well as the puppet squirel guy. It is bright and colorful and fun to watch. Just like being at the zoo right along with them!
A very good tape and a must have for a active child who won't sit still for most tapes on the market!"
A Solid Barney Video And One Of My Kids Favorites!

"In this video, Barney, BJ and Baby Bop spend a day at the Zoo where Scooter McNutty and Ms. Kepler (the science teacher from school) join them. Typical Barney fun ensues with jokes and songs and lots of animal pals.
Some of the animals featured:
Flamingos, meerkats, giraffes, tortoise, tigers, lions, porcupines, chimps, apes, monkeys and gorillas, hippos, parrots, zebras, warthog, elephants, barn owl, bear, kangaroo, koala, among others I might have missed :)
The real strength of this video is that there are lots of opportunities for kids to learn about animals. Among other things Barney discusses how different animals prefer different environments: food and activities, for example. Hippos, he points out, like the water and kids learn that hippos' noses are high on their heads to allow them to stay mostly submerged while they breathe.
The photography is very good and the music catchy. A great Barney addition!!!"
