Love, love our zoo! From the time we first visited as little kids, until now, the Toledo Zoo just gets better all the time. We like everything about the zoo, but we especially never get tired of visiting the wonderful buildings that go back to the days of the WPA.
The zoo wasn’t very busy on this particular visit, so we were able to take our time at each exhibit. We got some great pictures of the animals and grounds. We spent a lot of time at the Conservatory and the adjacent gardens, and it was our first visit to the new Aquarium. Just awesome!
We were fortunate to live in San Diego for many years, and we often visited the San Diego Zoo, which is generally considered to be the best zoo in the world. Well, I think the Toledo Zoo ranks pretty high up there.
Note: We have seen some great entertainment at the amphitheater, too, including Bob Dylan and Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band. It’s a great venue. Sorry we will not be in town this year to see Paul Simon.
