Or better yet (especially with young children) take the cable car (inside the zoo: there's an entrance to the zoo at the bottom as well as at the top) and ride up to the top. It casts a bit, probably, but it's great fun.
And starting the zoo at the top also ensures that you have the harbour views in front of you as you walk through, for those moments when the adults tire of the animals...
