Even though we are both grown adults, sometimes our childlike tendencies need to come out. As part of our Cincinnati trip, we went to the Cincinnati Zoo. It may even be more fun as an adult! Ironically, we went on May 5th, which is Cinco de Mayo. The zoo was celebrating with Cinco de Rhino Day!!!! (Yes, this excited me way too much.)
I would definitely recommend the Cincinnati Zoo. It has to be the best zoo that I have been to. (Also the cheapest I have been to.) There are more animals to see, more to do, and better organized. The paths are easy to navigate and surprisingly we did not get in any long lines. Some exhibits are on the inside and some are outside. (Which is great for families, especially on a warm day.)

My husband made fun of me all day because I was such a big kid. I wanted to see Zoboomafoo (from the PBS show of the same name, a.k.a a lemur, may also be showing my age…). Sadly, the lemurs were not visible/available when we went but I did see something similar, so I was satisfied. The bears were having a lazy day. The rhinos, though, may have been my favorite this zoo trip. The zoo had the rhino exhibit all decked out for Cinco de Mayo. There were sombreros, maracas, and other things you would expect for Cinco de Mayo. (Partying with the rhinos on Cinco de Mayo sounds better than the alternative anyway.)

We will definitely go back to the Cincinnati Zoo. As a side note, next time I will ensure to have a change of clothes in the car and I won’t wear anything new to me. ( Had a button pop off and break in half on my shorts when we were close to the end of the zoo. This prompted an impromptu Walmart trip. After inspecting the button that was split and the other buttons on the shorts, I discovered that it was a very cheap replacement, not the original button.) This was so fun despite the incident.
Have you been to the Cincinnati Zoo? Is there somewhere similar that you would recommend doing? I love hearing from readers!

As cool as it is to see so many amazing animals that one would otherwise not be able to see, it always makes me sad to see animals behind glass in a zoo.
ReplyDeleteI love going to zoos when I travel as well. Cute pictures, and it looks like that rhino is enjoying Cinco de Rhino!
ReplyDeleteMy partner and I always turn into big kids whenever we visit the zoo or aquarium! We love it so much ☺️🙊
ReplyDeleteVisiting the zoo can be very fun for children. I always make sure to visit zoos that help animals rather than just use them.

I heard about the Cincinnati Zoo before as like one of the zoos to see. And I can see why!
ReplyDeleteI've never been to Cincinnati before, but I will have to visit. I love going to the zoo. Maybe that can be a bucket list with the family. visit a zoo in every state, that way I can see the state and their zoos. :)
