From another side, a zoo isn't like a theme park or anything - the carer can look at the animals too, it's not like somewhere with attractions where they'll be unable to use them due to caring (I realise zoos sometimes have extra bits but they're an extra, not the whole point typically).

Why do you assume the carer wants to look at animals? I love animals, a trip to the zoo is an ideal day out for me but I can't go without a carer; my carer is my mum and she would rather watch paint dry than go to a zoo, she has no interest in animals at all, she is there purely to look after me.

Oh and just to point out, if I took a magic pill tonight and woke up perfectly able bodied tomorrow, as a 23 year old adult I would much prefer to go to the zoo on my own than with someone who isn't enjoying it as much as me so just because my carer is a family member does not mean they would be going with me anyway. I accept that disabled children would not be going on their own, obviously.
