As we do everywhere we go — we had to check out the Toledo Zoo!
Details: Open 10-4 Wednesday-Sunday during winter, open 10-12 on Mondays. No reservations required. Limited to 50% capacity. Admission is $22 adults, $19 kids. (If you’re a member of another AZA zoo, ask about the discounted admission!)
I’m not sure if it was pure luck, the chilly weather, or that it was a school day, but we nearly had the zoo to ourselves. And what a great zoo it is! I hope to get back for a visit when it’s a bit warmer. It was a lot larger than I expected and had an awesome variety of animals. We are SO lucky in Ohio to have so many wonderful zoos closeby. I FULLY recommend it!
