I was thinking more along the lines of watering and up keeping of all the plants, grass, bushes, flowers, etc.
Just saying it's something to look into.

We traveled to Israel a couple months ago with 3 kids under 5 and we didn't do much traveling (but we also had a lot of family to see). The local park and riding the bus is my kids LOVED lol We went to the Old City and walked to the Kosel and one day went to the aquarium which was nice! Also, took a week for us all to totally get over being jetlagged. Fortunately we were there for a month. Hatzlacha!

Re shmitah, also ask your rav what is required of you in this case. Clearly, you can't eat what you don't hold by. But whether you can visit a location like a park that isn't keeping it is a question to ask.
In general, definitely find out what you hold by for eating. And with little kids, I would get guidelines for b'dieved in case you can't get the only thing one will eat in what you generally hold by. Many people have a strictness to do something the best way, but also have an option that halachicly is ok if needed.

If you intend to eat an ibex at the zoo, then I think you're okay shemittah-wise, though the zoo may object 
In all seriousness though: I've been learning the laws of shemittah this year, and the things one is or isn't allowed to do in the garden are both very nuanced, and much more varied than what you would think. I am not yet learned enough to apply halacha in my own garden, but it is perfectly possible to garden and maintain plants during shemittah, if done the right way.
