Now, a whole section of the zoo is made just for kids! (of any age!) The Childrens Zoo is near the Discovery Center and Herpetarium building. As you walk in, the Flamingos to your right glimmer in the sun, their radiant pink glow dazzles the air. The aroma of sweet flowers entices you to go further as you pass the Butterfly Garden. Look closly and you may be able to see a beautiful Monarch Butterfly drifting by. You continue walking and you stop when you spot the Carousel, it's grand building so enviting you must go in. Laughing and cheerful hollars surround you in the blissful air. Vibrant colors dance around as the many species of animals statues go round and round, and there is abundace with the childrens smiles and laughter. You walk a little farther and you pass a large Kangaroo and huge tree house, a playground for the energetic children. Farther, and another building is spotted, the new animals exibit, now holding live, playful animals! The White Handed Gibbons fly through the air off of their own playground, and the meerkats scramble around. Afterwards, you can hear the faint whistle of the Electric Zoo Train. So much fun comes from the Childrens Zoo you find yourself not wanting to ever leave!
Go check it out and have a blast!
Thanks!
