Then it evolved to habitat areas and now it has even better habitat areas and theming too! The kiddos love the big indoor play area too. But yeah - expensive admission!ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298433369731366916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32453088.post-40072123451415234922007-11-13T12:55:00.000-05:002007-11-13T12:55:00.000-05:00It has been eons since I was at a zoo--and that wa...It has been eons since I was at a zoo--and that was during a visit to Minneapolis. My son was two years old (he is now thirty-four--have I mentioned in other posts, I don't get out much?).<BR/><BR/>The one truly remarkable thing for me then was seeing the orangatangs UP CLOSE. They were awing--and so ORANGE.<BR/><BR/>So tickled to see all your photos. Thanks for sharing these with us.

I just took MJ to Miami Metro Zoo this past weekend and as young as she is, she loved it. She especially liked the Gibbons 9who were in great voice) and the Tigers to whom she kept pointing and saying "Ki-i" (translated: kitty).CableGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392330449567457998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32453088.post-15215374844439547512007-11-13T08:49:00.000-05:002007-11-13T08:49:00.000-05:00Actually FC I would argue "your" zoo - which we vi...Actually FC I would argue "your" zoo - which we visited with you 2 years ago - is up there as a cool zoo. I mean, you've got pandas and it is FREE! The Seattle was having a promotion where the adults got in for free but the kids' admission still felt like a car payment.soccer mom in denialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15779961065417497337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32453088.post-2562103878133005932007-11-13T08:07:00.000-05:002007-11-13T08:07:00.000-05:00This zoo sounds awesome!
