The parking is a bit of a walk from the zoo entrance. I am not sure what you mean by scooter. Is it just for fun or a necessary item for your child? If it is just for fun I would leave it in the car. If it is necessary and needed for disability purposes, yes, all persons are able to get close to the enclosures. There is lots of walking to get to each enclosure at the zoo. I Hope that helped.

Call them. Didn't see a rental area. Thank you for your Veteran service.

You must reserve on their site a free timed ticket to enter the zoo. Please visit their website for further details

Two hours or less. It depends on how much you want to see and how many stops you make along the way.

The cost of renting a scooter was $30. We did not get any money back.

When they are hungry.

The best way is to goo with metrolink (2.5usd) and after take the bus of the park (2usd). You can take electric scooter but its very expensive.
