I
grew
up
going
exclusively
to
the
Omaha
zoo
and
I
have
to
say,
the
Toledo
zoo
is
a
gem!!
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
by
how
fun
and
well
thought-out
this
zoo
was.
It
did
not
disappoint,
and
the
outdoor
exhibits
are
well-shaded
and
well-kept.
Such
a
fun
experience!
I
did
take
off
one
star,
because
even
though
we
brought
water
bottles,
it
was
80+
degrees
and
hot
when
we
went
(April
23rd)
but
there
was
only
ONE
functioning
water
fountain,
at
the
end
of
the
aquarium,
which
was
backed
up
with
a
long
line
of
other
families
also
waiting
to
refill
bottles
for
the
whole
family
like
we
were.
All
of
the
rest
of
them
that
we
found
were
shut
off
still.
We
asked
staff,
who
informed
us
they
were
all
shut
off.
We
did
not
bring
money
to
pay
for
$4-5
water,
and
that
meant
you
would
have
to
cross
the
whole
zoo
(and
the
highway)
just
to
get
water
on
a
day
hot
enough
to
get
heat
exhaustion.
That
said,
my
two
toddler
girls
loved
the
experience
and
so
did
my
husband
and
I.
You
can
easily
spend
a
whole
day
here
and
not
have
enough
time
to
explore
everything
thoroughly.
The
old
architecture
is
absolutely
beautiful,
very
much
giving
the
whole
zoo
an
“early
20th
century
naturalist”
feel.
A
few
of
our
favorite
things
were
the
aviary,
otters
and
red
pandas
(sooo
cute!)
and
the
collection
of
curiosities
room
upstairs
in
the
Museum
of
Natural
History.
We
spent
almost
an
hour
there
alone,
checking
the
many
drawers
and
feeling
various
exotic
animal
furs
and
skins.
We
have
a
family
zoo
membership
and
hope
to
keep
one
for
many
years!
It’s
SOOO
worth
the
money!!
