I love the Zoo, and never get bored. The butterfly house – exquisite, the polar bear underwater tunnel – coolest thing EVER, lions tigers and bears oh my and worth the trip. Sadly the elephants are gone, and I think the Rhinos too, but the Giraffes are beautiful, the peacocks everywhere (pesky mean birds!) and everything is fun. Plan to spend a afternoon, and if you’re bringing the kids, a whole day.

My grandma would take all us grandkids every summer when we were kids and I never got sick of it. It was actually a highlight of each summer.
