The animlas were having a sleepy day so we didn't see them doing much. But Amelia and Jacob had a blast in the "Kidzone". There were all sorts of hands on activities for kids of all ages.
This was a pond where you could use nets and strainers to find treasure. The treasure turned out to be plastic animals and fish - but it was fun trying to find them.
This was a garden area where kids could "plant" things.
Amelia really liked the chalkboard wall. Truett traced her body and then she had fun coloring it in. They also had water to paint and spray with.
Then there was the playground.
All of the animla exhibits were wall to wall people. We ended up spending most of our time in the kids area and on the playground.
There was a carousel with all kinds of animals. Ameila wanted to ride the polar bear - but she got a rhino instead.
Back in the kidzone they had a pretend vet station too. Amelia had a good time playing with the animals. She likes to be the Dr.
Save the best for last - a HUGE sand play area. This was a favorite with all the kids. There were at least 5 different metal tubs filled with sand and rocks. Scattered everywhere were cooking and digging impliments of every kind - cake pans, pots, spoons, strainers, bottles, jars, cups - andything you could think of - it was there.
