This chapter explores how the zoo, as a specific site for family leisure, can be considered a therapeutic landscape, particularly for those at the family formation/transition to parenthood stage in the life course. It begins with an examination of the relationship between family leisure, parental/family identities and wellbeing. The chapter discusses the presentation of an illustrative analysis of family zoo photographs. Family photographs taken at the zoo are understood to be both a product of family leisure behaviour, and 'souvenirs' capturing the interaction, connection and cohesion of the family group sought, and engaged in, through the family recreation experience of the zoo visit. The importance and value placed on families spending quality leisure time together, and significantly, private family time in public leisure settings for young families with small children, is stressed in North American culture. The zoo visit is an experience in practising family often captured in family photography.
