Amazonia!


Today we visited the Mesker Park Zoo and experienced a sneak preview of the new $13 million dollar exhibit, Amazonia. The official opening is August 4th, so we felt pretty fortunate to beat the crowds and be one of the first to see the exhibit we have been waiting to visit for several months. It was so, well, AMAZING! Some of the new animals were the howler monkeys and a jaguar, along with several animals we didn't even recognize. They really did a nice job, it's top quality. The entrance has been moved and they have added new concessions and a gift shop. Patrick LOVES the zoo. We have a membership and it is the BEST $49 we have spent in entertainment -- we are there weekly when the weather allows. His favorites are the "big 'nake" and the "doats". We even fed the "doats" crackers today! Check out the slideshow for more awesome pictures!
