Vacation at the Zoo

Friday, May 18, 2018

In thinking about things to do this summer in and around Kentucky, I thought about one of my favorite places to visit -- the zoo. I can never get enough of the penguins, elephants, giraffes, big cats, birds of prey, reptiles, flamingos, bears, primates . . . . We have a season pass at the Cincinnati Zoo and with it comes 50% off of the cost of admission to about 200 other zoos and aquariums in the US. So let's look at these partnering zoos in neighboring states. Perhaps you might find zoo-hopping to be your thing this summer.
