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!
