We recently took a weekend trip to the Cincinnati Zoo in beautiful Ohio. What an amazing place to visit, especially for kids. The children's zoo offered a fun spider web to crawl on, koala stand behind pictures, a train ride, turtle shells to crawl through and a petting zoo where a parent and child could pet goats and kangaroo's. My boy's ages 3 and 1/12 had a great time visiting all of the animals and especially the "choo choo train" ride. There were many break areas with a light mist or cool breeze blew which provided a breathe of fresh air to anyone walking by and a place for the kids to play. I enjoyed looking at the botanical gardens and the polar bear exhibit. The only set back is that its all on a hill, imagine a double stroller, going up hill most all day, well worth it, but tiresome!! There was also a picnic area where you could pack your own food and drinks to save. Every restroom we stopped at had a baby changing area and large stalls for little ones just learning how to go. It was a fun day had by all and VERY family friendly! Order your tickets on line and save $2.00 per ticket! http://www.cincyzoo.org/

Another good place for kids in Cincinnati. They have pretty nice decorations during the holidays (Xmas). The entire park is covered with lights, so go when it turns dark and enjoy. Other good times to go is when they advertise zoo babies. Those are always fun to watch especially when they are really little.

I love the Cincinnati Zoo. It's much larger than you expect, and just when you think you have seen it all you realize that you haven't been down the hoofed animal trail. They have a lot of eateries featuring Cincinnati cuizine. The polar bear exhibit is great as is the manatee building. There is a lot of walking up and down hills but the glacier didn't make it this far so I can deal with that. It's really great exercise. Make sure you check into the overnights they have for children. They are great!

The Cincinnati Zoo is the perfect place for an afternoon outing with the family. They have tons of attractions, including the world famous Manatees. There is a moderate amount of food selections, including STARBUCKS! There is no place better to bring children than the Zoo. I’m amazed to see how children are just fascinated day after day with the Zoo. The admission price/cost of food is a bit steep, but hey…it’s for the kids.
