Loads of little ones are always there, enjoying a picnic with mom and dad and then running up and down the little hill off to the side of the meadow. The concerts are quite early too, so they don't mess with bedtimes too much. I'm kind of surprised the zoo is offering childcare, but ZooTunes would be a fun kid-free date night too, so sure, why not? We took our five-month-old last year, and she lay on the blanket and dug the Indigo Girls. This year, we expect she'll boogie to Ladysmith Black Mambazo . . . and then run up and down that little hill.

I haven't ever actually been to one of these things, but I thought they were intended to be some sort of family friendly thing. Though I guess surely taking a 7 year old to see Emmylou Harris et al. would be an exquisite sort of torture for everyone involved.
