My wife and I love zoos. We visit them every chance we get. The Toledo Zoo looked good enough to make me wait 3 hours for it to open in a town I knew nothing about. The suggestion that it is the 7th best zoo in the country had my expectations quite high.

The zoo we found did not live up to my expectations but was well worth the visit. Several of the exhibits deserve an honorable mention on Ultimate Zoos with the seal and polar bear exhibits standing out. Something let me down a bit though. I felt this zoo was more about the people visiting than it was about the animals living there. It was subtle but I felt it could have been better.

I would like to go back when I am not exhausted by the road (I had been driving since 1 AM when we hit Toledo) but you should definitely take a look here if you get a chance.
