The Akron Zoo

There is this cool thing among the zoos across our country - the reciprocal zoo list. You may already know this, but it was new to us. On this list are more than 150 zoos across the United States, members of one zoo on the list are afforded membership privileges to all of the zoos. Pretty cool, right? Our membership to the St. Louis Zoo allowed us to get in free to the Akron Zoo.

Jillian's favorite animal on this day were the Flamingos. They are so pretty!

Jillian took a break from the very hot Ohio day to eat some strawberry ice cream - Yum!


There is a climbing wall inside the neat jellyfish exhibit - (with a little help) Jillian made it to the top.


Watching the tortoise walk by - they are quicker than you might imagine!



On a caterpillar in the beautiful gardens.


The petting zoos are always fun, especially when you can buy a $2 cracker to feed to the sheep.
