Today was our day to visit the Los Angeles Zoo. I was really excited because I love to go to places that are new even though I get so frustrated not being able to navigate around a new park. We headed out after breakfast and of course hit LA traffic. It wasn't so bad but anything that is stop and go at 10am in the morning is just so wrong.
The GPS got us there with no problems and we were amazed at how big the zoo looked from the outside.
The selection of animals was awesome and the enclosure were so well done.
Our first stop was at the alligators and the mercats (I think that's how you spell it). We then hit our first hill and knew that after walking all week our legs would not hold up to a hilly zoo. So we bought tickets for the tram and we could get off and on as we pleased. It really made the walking so much more bearable and Maddy really enjoyed riding it.
There were so many amazing animals its impossible to list them all but I will highlight what I can:
We got to see some animals that we have only seen on Diego, like a Tapir and a Maned Wolf
We got to see a mama bird sitting on her eggs which were huge.
The gorilla enclosure was huge and amazing. Maddy got to go nose to nose with one at the window and I think the gorilla enjoyed watching us more than us watching him. He was smart too because he would make movements that he wanted the kids to mimic. He did it over and over again.
After a full day of animals....Maddy was ready for the pool. Maddy made some great friends at the pool again and they played red light green light in the kiddie pool. So fun to watch.
After the pool we ordered pizza and rested our sore feet. =)
