I've been trying to take advantage of the nice weather that we've been having lately (even though it snowed last Sunday) and get out and do things that I probably won't be able to do during the winter. There are two zoos here in Minneapolis/St. Paul, one the official Minnesota Zoo, and the other, the Como Zoo and Conservatory. 
A few weeks ago, my friend Parley and I spent the morning at the Minneapolis Zoo. Although we had a fantastic time, I was more than a little disappointed in the lack of animals, especially standard zoo animals, that they had... especially for the price! $14 just to get in the door and then they make you pay $5 for parking as well! 
Well, last Saturday, it was so nice out, I decided to try Como Zoo and Conservatory. They ask for donations to help run the zoo, but it is only $2/person and not required for entry. I asked my friend, Amanda, to come with her twins, Ava and Wyatt. We had so much fun seeing the animals (at least this zoo had a giraffe), going on the 1920's carousel, and walking through the conservatory. It definitely is a place that I will be back to.
