metro richmond zoo

we went to the zoo on saturday, its kinda funny cause we have lived here for 3 years and the zoo is only 10 min away but its the first time we went. we have heard good things about it and were pretty excited to check it out. we pulled up and were a bit skeptical at first cause its doesn't look like much from the parking lot. there was actually a house at the front and then a building to the side where you pay to get in. once inside it definitely needs some more work which they are in the process of doing. the zoo is about 13 years old but it has a lot of animals and most of them you can get really close to. you can actually feed the giraffe's by hand, pretty cool. it's on a more personal level i felt than other zoos i have been to. we had a good time. check out more pics http://picasaweb.google.com/oliver.bess
