Getting there
What visitors say
There were moments of magic, hearing my toddler call animals by the sounds they make, and moments that were harder, like seeing an elderly leopard limping in an enclosure that felt too small.
On my last visit to the zoo with my family we spent almost SEVEN hours walking around checking out each enclosure, taking pictures, feeding giraffes, learning, and having fun on the hanging bridges.
