Meeting Spot: Purchase your ticket and walk into the zoo. Just past the entrance there are restrooms with a few benches outside. It will be to your right. We will meet by those benches.
Beardsley is a small zoo, but there are plenty of photo opportunities. We will eat lunch at the zoo's Peacock Cafe. Once you are done photographing the zoo, you may want to shoot Beardsley Park, which is adjacent to the zoo.
March is a good month to visit the zoo because the drab landscape will not show up in most of the shots. Also, if it is a colder day, there are plenty of buildings where you can warm up.
