the zoo was awesome. the aquarium was a lot of fun and my favorite animal was the tiger. pretty soon they will have an awesome polar bear enclosure (august 2006) as well as a few other new enclosures. the elephants were also really cool and you should catch them there while you can, elephants are bring phased out of zoos quicky!

the food was really good at the restaurant and it was really easy to find. However, our waiter really sucked and didn’t take care if us at all. It took him 10 minutes to even ask us if we wanted drinks and got us a menu (the restaurant was nearly empty at the time).

One of our appetisers was brought stone cold (it was supposed to be hot and bubbly) and he didn’t clear the table at all during the meal. There were 11 of us and the table was full of dishes and he asked us to just move them on over and make room for more.

food was good though, a little expensive.

I worked as an intern at the national aviary. it is definately an awesome place.

If you ask the keepers, they are more than willing to give you all sorts of juicy tidbits about the birds.

In the summer there is a free flight bird show, and year round there are daily opportunities to feed the birds and get a really close up look.

you can feed an inca tern, blue bellied roller, carmine bee eaters, lesser green broadbill, fire tufted barbett among SOOOO many more. I definately recommend visiting!
