Akron Zoo

My boys and I love this zoo. We go pretty regularly. My boys love to ride the carousel and go down the otter slide when we visit. This slide takes you under the water of the otter exhibit and the otters can swim over and around you. Definitely their favorite.

They may not have as many animals here as some zoos, but it was still great! Their exhibits are amazing. Multiple viewing areas and happy animals enjoying spacious areas. The place is very clean, and everything looks updated or new.

We got to see a baby white faced (golden) gibbon!! It was just a beautiful day at the zoo with the family. Most of the animals were sleeping during midday but were usually close to the observation areas. Weather was perfect (remember to pack sunscreen), not too many crowds, and we got to see all the animals we hoped to. Akron zoo is just the right size to visit all the exhibits while lingering at your favorites, all in one day! Can't wait to take the kids back to see the new areas once they are completed.

We love the Akron Zoo. Disappointed today after for passes electronically on advance had to wait in the regular admission line just to get in. It was a beautiful day, crowded with lots of little kids as expected. I'm going to say half the animals weren't out. I know this varies according to weather (and avian flu the zoo is having to deal with), but walking from empty viewing area to empty viewing area is sad for little kids.
