KIDS FIRST!® Adult Jurors say - Enjoyable with lots of useful information and footage of zoo animals but the presentation doesn't always stay relevant for its target audience. The visuals and general content are just right for preschoolers but some of the information is too advanced for them such as the concept of carnivores, herbivores, and onmivores. Also, the magic door game where children have to find clues about a mystery animal is far too complicated for younger children.
KIDS FIRST!® Kid Jurors say - Liked the footage of the zoo animals. One two-year-old kept putting her hands on the floor and walking on all fours every time she say the apes or monkeys saying they walk like this. Kids wanted to watch it again immediately and pointed out their favorite animals as reasons why. The clue game with the puzzle keys was very confusing and needed explaining. The two's ignored the game completely and the older kids kept asking questions about it.
