right next to the baseball stadium, i went here a lot as a kid. my dad and his air force flight helped do maintenance on the atrium and helped construct the indoor rainforest, so we got to go in on closed/construction days. i still think it was amazing to have such an incredible zoo as my first zoo experience. i remember the monkey house smelled like monkey shit, but they had a scale you coul weigh yourself on that would tell you how much more apes weighed. and there were sharks, that shit was awesome. and a stupid train, that wasn’t so awesome, but still pretty cool. also, my first crush was on a zookeeper lady in khaki shorts with a band-aid on her thumb.
