59 Days of Summer- Columbus Zoo

Super Zooper

For the past five years we have a had a family zoo past. We have varied between Ft. Wayne and Columbus, but for the first time we let it expire. As the kids get more active it became harder and harder to get away, and when we do, they're old enough to do so many more things. The thing I loved about it was we always got the pass that we could bring two guests with us and we loved finding friends to bring along. It's never hard to find friends to join you at the zoo!

Going to ONU, my favorite exhibit is always the polar bears. Olivia has a obsession with elephants, so that's a must see too.  Isaac- well he likes trains. LOL. Sad news, the train at the Columbus Zoo is down for the summer. We had one disappointed little boy. But everyone has a favorite and we always try to hit every part of the zoo.  Even go through the reptile exhibit for Jeremy- YIKES!

A new addition a few years back was the African part of the zoo. Giraffes were a great add to this portion of the zoo. For a few bucks you can buy a few pieces of lettuce and feed them. Camels were also added and for a little extra you can ride on one of these beautiful beasts (even if it's not Wednesday!). We never have even looked into doing it, but maw and paw were in charge and you know how grandparents are with their grandkids. A few bats of the eyes and begging to ride turned into (according to Olivia) the most amazing thing ever.

So if you are looking for something to do and want to fill your day with animals and adventure, check out the Columbus Zoo.
