- I love this zoo. We go all the time. It's beautiful peaceful, and I think I like it more than my son:-). Well, so far. He's only 8 months old.
[Submitted by brihoopes3/08/09 - I have a seven-year-old who has been to the zoo about a thousand times and he still looks forward to going and seening the animals. It's a great time for my husband and myself to spend with our son, the excitement and just the smiles he gives us looking at the animals brings such a joy to our hearts that just cant be put into words... I love the fact that it's not only entertainment for us, but it's also exercise we don't get at home or work!!!
