Zoo Atlanta

8 comments
Looking for something fun to do?  Last weekend I took our son to the zoo!  The best part of all....  FOR FREE!

Thanks to the Georgia Public Library, I received a family pass (free admission for 2 adults and 2 children) after checking out the "Zoo Atlanta Pass DVD."  It was that simple!  Anyone with a valid library card can take advantage of this awesome opportunity.  Visit your local branch, watch the DVD, return it and receive your free family pass.  *you have one week only to use the free family pass*  Find out more here.

It was a little chilly the day we decided to visit.


Flamingos


Unfortunately, "The Mexican" was still out of town.  I hate he didn't get to go with us.  Guess what this 3800 lb. elephant's name was.... Tara!  Oh well, too bad hubby wasn't there!  He missed a prime joke opportunity! (trust me, I know there would have been a joke!)





The lethal Cassowary.  One of our son's favorite birds.  Glad he was behind bars.

 We were so busy having fun that we didn't have time to take pictures of all the cool animals we saw.  The Orangutans were cute!  One mama Orangutan was cradling her baby.  It was so sweet.  There were some joeys (kangaroos) hopping around.  Man! Their feet are huge.

The Giraffes are my favorite!  I read that next spring visitors will be allowed to feed them from a terrace.  Que cool!  I'm going to have to go back just for that!



Pandas

A mama Tiger playing around with her cubs.  Those teeth look scary!





Our trip to Zoo Atlanta was a lot of fun and very educational.  They had zoo keepers around every corner to answer any questions you might have about the animals.  We attended different "Wild Life" shows and learned tons!

We finished off our trip with a ride on the carousel.



What a fun experience! Oh, and NO animal attacks like our last outing!  Woo hoo!!!
