Woodland Park Zoo
Tuesday, April 18, 2006
It had been a long time since we had taken the kids to the zoo, so yesterday, when we went; I was reminded of why Woodland Park Zoo is such a wonderful place to take the kids. Of course, we love the animals and the exhibits are well put together, but what really struck me yesterday, was the wealth of educational material and information on conservation of resources and protection of animals. It amazed me to realize how much work the zoological society does to protect our environment and to protect animals. I found that yesterday, as we walked and visited with the animals, my eight year old and I spent a lot of time learning about the animals and their natural habitats as well as their status (i.e. endangered, etc.).
