The Minnesota Zoo






















We also ventured out to the big Zoo thanks to my sister who gave us some free passes that had to be used up. The Zoo has grown enormously since I was there last which probably was close to 15 years ago. They had so many fun things for the kids to do. They loved everything but some of their favorites were the shark tank and tide pools, the monorail, the playground out on the Northern Trail, the Wolves and Bears, the new African section (especially the Giraffes you could feed), all the little hideouts to play in, the tractor ride to the farm animals and the Coral reef fish tank. Out of all the exotic animals they had the Zoo the boys favorite animals were the prarie dogs. They were funny. They would fight and wrestle and they would try and jump up the walls of their habitat and just fall back down. Both boys were laughing so hysterically they couldn't stop. They didn't want to leave the prarie dogs. We spent an entire day at the Zoo and by the end we were all exhausted from all the walking. We had a great time and would love to go back.
