There's nothing wrong to it.
However, if you're up for something more than that, Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park in Norway is the place to go. It provides variety of attractions that no conventional zoo will please you with. You better have some time to spare if you decide to visit, because the place is huge and it doesn't just stand there empty. The zoo part itself is really big and it covers a lot of interesting stuff. You can see anything from local Scandinavian animals to many African or Asian specimens you wouldn't expect to be there (a red panda in Northern Europe?!). They are provided with considerable living space which is really cool to see - however, it's not a Safari-type experience and you still watch everything from a safe distance, and there will be at least a solid net between you and any inhabitant of the zoo. Kristiansand manages to balance it well.
Come at 1 PM to watch the daily feeding. It doesn't end here. The theme parks are cool, it's all good fun, but it's very much focused on the children.
If you're looking for some serious adrenaline rush, you should especially look out for the Dreggen, which brings a lot of high velocity spinning at impressive height. Mostly though, everything is relatively peaceful but entertaining, you get to swim around in kayaks and boats, ride some chilly tracks. One thing you're not going to see is a disappointed kid.
Cardamom Town is a typical theme park. It's made with a lot of care and preparation, but if you're not familiar with Thorbjørn Egners work you won't be able to fully appreciate it. Captains Sabertooth's world, another theme park, is a bit better - and you don't really need to know anything about the old Captain to properly enjoy a short trip in a cool pirate ship, the Sorte Dame. And if you still have will to go, there's also the Badelandet, a water park which is everything you would expect of it, really. Just remember it costs extra.
While we're at it, admission fees vary from 120 to 310 NOK ($24-$62), which changes over the course of the year.
Yes, the park is open daily, all year long (though keep in mind winter is not the best time to visit a zoo), 10 AM to 7 PM at the holiday season (mid-May to August) and 10 AM to 3 PM at any other time.
It's probably best if you and your family eat before you enter. The food won't blow your mind but it will fill your stomach - don't expect much more than that. It is just typical zoo food.
You can have all sorts of fun at Kristiansand Dyrepark in Norway, and you really don't want to miss it.
