Springtime at the Zoo

One of the nicest things you can do with the kids as Spring arrives is to head to the zoo. Today, we did just that. It was the perfect way to spend St. Patrick’s Day weekend, even if none of the animals was sporting a bit of the green in honor of the holiday. (Although the peacocks were showing plenty of other colors!)

Our little zoo is just the right size for a trip with young children and has a really nice picnic and play area attached. I don’t know if the kids had more fun visiting the animals or climbing on the play equipment, but I know I had fun seeing some of the animals up close.

We saw some baby goats, but if you wait a bit longer and go to the zoo for Easter or spring break, you may be able to see some more exotic babies, like gibbons or wombats. (If you can’t wait to get a baby zoo animal fix, check out ZooBorns. These guys are soo cute.)

Don’t forget to check to see if your zoo has any spring time specials. Our local zoo doesn’t, but the Maryland Zoo at Baltimore is having a grand opening special today and tomorrow where admission is only $7 for kids and adults. Other zoos do egg hunts during the Easter holiday.
