I love the zoo, especially when it is a gorgeous sunny summer day.
I went with a couple of classmates, Megan and Stephanie, along with my youngest son and Stephanie's younger sisters. It was a perfect day, not to hot and not overcast.
We did not make the full tour of the zoo but we did manage to see the elephants, gorillas and giraffes. But the main attraction, the one the made the biggest impact on us was the Sting Ray exhibit.
Currently the zoo has 30 Sting Ray's in a custom pool. They are at the zoo until October and it is only $3 per person on top of the regular membership. It is well worth the money and I would strongly suggest it to anyone visiting the zoo in the near future.
The Sting Rays are absolutely amazing, we were able to feed them as well as touch them. They actually come to you to be touched. They swim constantly and as they would come near your hand they actually came up to your hand to be stroked. They are very very soft, and it is truly a phenomenal almost therapeutic experience. One that I plan on doing again soon!
Ciao!
