4/5 Great Beer N. 9 months ago on Google
I
like
visiting
different
American
cities
and
it
is
always
nice
when
the
city
has
a
zoo.
I
say
that
because,
with
two
teenage
girls,
zoos
are
the
one
attraction
that
we
can
all
agree
to
visit.
On
a
recent
trip
to
Birmingham,
Alabama,
we
had
several
hours
before
our
flight
from
the
local
airport,
and
it
was
just
the
amount
of
time
we
needed
to
visit
the
Birmingham
Zoo.
We
arrived
at
the
zoo
around
noon
and,
fortunately
for
us,
it
wasn’t
very
crowded
and
we
didn’t
have
any
trouble
finding
a
place
to
park.
Walking
inside,
we
decided
to
forgo
using
a
map
and
started
to
visit
the
different
animals
based
on
whatever
caught
our
attention.
We
continued
to
go
from
one
section
to
the
next
until
we
had
covered
everything,
which
took
less
than
two
hours.
The
Birmingham
Zoo
is
staffed
by
friendly
folks
and
even
though
it
wasn’t
that
crowded
overall,
there
were
lots
of
kids
present,
many
of
them
from
local
summer
schools,
apparently.
It
was
great
to
see
so
many
happy
children
making
their
way
from
one
animal
exhibit
to
the
next
and
learning
about
the
different
species.
Zoos
are
great
fun
and
great
education
for
young
people
and
it
was
nice
to
see
so
many
youngsters
soaking
up
the
scenery
and
learning
about
the
creatures
that
inhabit
our
planet.
There
were
a
fair
number
of
animal
exhibits
that
were
closed,
so
we
were
a
little
disappointed
in
that
respect.
We
also
noticed
that
some
of
the
areas,
while
clean,
were
in
disrepair
and
this
was
most
evident
with
the
indoor
exhibits.
We
also
noticed
that
the
Birmingham
Zoo
does
have
a
train
that
will
take
you
from
place
to
place,
for
an
added
fee.
We
decided
to
keep
walking,
but
it
is
good
to
know
that
this
option
is
there,
for
those
who
need
it.
The
animals
on
display
at
the
Birmingham
Zoo
seemed
to
be
well
taken
care
of
and
while
this
zoo
isn’t
as
large
as
others
I
have
visited,
it
proved
worth
the
investment
of
time
and
money.
It
is
very
close
to
the
airport-
only
about
7
miles
away-
and
thus
made
for
a
nice
excursion
before
flying
home.
I
recommend
a
visit
if
you
find
yourself
in
the
Birmingham
area.
