Added info from comment about OP's childrens age at that time, removed "untagged" and added real tags (activities -> visiting a zoo, morals -> core of the question (how to treat animals), animal-interaction -> goal).

Mar 6, 2017 at 2:25 comment added Rose Hartman I think this is a great question, and I'd still like to see it answered.
Dec 27, 2015 at 18:17 comment added user420 Zoos vary considerably in quality. If the zoos near you have animals showing clear signs of poor treatment, don't take your kids there. Find more conservation/education oriented zoos, even if they're less convenient.
Dec 27, 2015 at 2:32 comment added anongoodnurse Well, mine are grown now, but they visited zoos until perhaps 9 years of age.

Dec 24, 2015 at 13:55 comment added A E How old are the kids?
Dec 23, 2015 at 15:53 comment added the_lotus Around my town, the zoo are more of a rehabilitation center or a place they keep old/injured animals. Also, animals usually don't do much during the day as they have instinct to conserve energy. If you have that type of zoo, go there instead and have the people that work there talk about how they take care of the animals. If it's really a bad place, don't give them your money! You could also look at local farms, some offer tours.

Dec 23, 2015 at 7:48 comment added YviDe Oh, that sounds difficult. I have been lucky to be close to by pretty great zoos with large habitats all my life, but I suppose "go to a better one" wasn't an option in this case...
