It's one of our favorite things and the Minnesota Zoo can be enjoyed year-round, so we often find that on really cold, frozen tundra days OR really nice spring weather days, it's a great destination.
So a few weeks back, we headed down for a trip. The kids wanted to ride on the monorail (which for those of you unfamiliar is an elevated electric train that travels throughout the zoo's acreage so you can see the exhibits from up high, there are walking trails on the ground that follow most of the same route since the zoo is HUGE, so we had to walk that too). The last time we were at the zoo, the Monorail was closed due to 'technical difficulties" so the kids were excited to ride on it today.
We visited the farm they have there, and since it's spring time, they have all the farm babies now on display as well.
We of course have our favorites - the big fish tank and the dolphin tanks. We got to see them working with the dolphins, but no shows since they are on hiatus for awhile.
Andrew was more willing on this particular day to pose for photos. Cailin, not so much. You just never know whose going to be hammy when we have the camera out.
We stayed so long, longer than usual that we even ate lunch there and then spent more time running around. It was a beautiful day!
