The Columbus Zoo

We have been to the Columbus Zoo many times. But recently, Grandparents Nickoloff came down for a visit and we all went together. My babies enjoyed having there Grandpa and Grandma there.

It was easier on Craig and me too. Now instead of trading kids every 15 minutes, there were twice as many adults to keep them occupied.

Cleveland Zoo

We went to the Cleveland Zoo this weekend with Craig's family. It was wonderful. The weather was beautiful and besides the whining children (mine) everything was perfect.

The zoo was set up more like a park than other zoos I have visited. You would walk down a paved trail to each of the exhibits, and the animals were so close. It wasn't immediately apparent that the animals were in pens, except for some of the more ferocious animals, but even the lion exhibit was up close and personal in my opinion. It was unbelievable.

I would highly recommend this zoo to anyone. We will be going back, there were things we didn't get to see because of whining children and raw nerves (again mine). The Cleveland Zoo caters to many tastes with: reasonably priced food, up close exhibits, an enjoyable walk, and wonderful landscaping (and labeled plants).

You'll have to bring your own chubbiness to kiss while waiting for the train ride though.
