Up close & personal with the animals
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/31/04
The whole reason we decided to visit this zoo, is because they have dolphins. We missed the show, but did get to see them swimming underwater. You only get to see them on top of the water if you attend a performance. What I liked about the zoo, is that the exhibits were close enough to get a good look at the animals, and many of them were open, so that if you wanted to take pictures, you wouldn't have fences in the way. Even the tiger exhibit was open - you could stand above it and look wayyyy down into it's habitat which was an interesting experience! Most of the zoo is located indoors, which is also a plus, as we visited in the winter time. Animals are divided into trails, and there is even an indoor rainforest on the Tropics Trail. The wolves have a large habitat in the woods, which are beautiful to watch. There are pressed penny machines by the gift shop.
