The Buttonwood Park Zoo may be small, but it is a 15 min walk from my home, is cheap ($6 admission for adults!  less for students), and has a lot of my favorite zoo animals (otters, seals, goats, and bison).  I went on a sunny day so all of the animals were easy to see.  I liked the conservation elements that the zoo is involved in (with terrapins and Asian elephants, for example).  Membership is reasonably priced ($35/individual and they subtract your admission from that day, if applicable) and gets you into 120 other zoos and aquariums around the country, including Boston's Franklin Park and Stone Zoos, and the Museum of Science.

Buttonwood Zoo is a very small zoo, but not bad for little kids. A lot of the animals have reaaallly small living areas (which kind of makes me sad) or are in pens too covered by brush and branches you can't even see the animals. Oh well. The farm area is nice, though. And deer! Aww.
