Alexandria Zoological Park

Last week we took our family to visit the Alexandria Zoo . The weather was beautiful and we had a fun day together. The thing I like most about this zoo is that you can see the whole zoo in a few hours. The walkways are nice and shaded and the kids love the playground.

 We always start our visit by feeding the fish in the pond. The monkeys were in an especially playful mood and entertained us by swinging on ropes and acting silly. We rode the train, another activity my kids love to do at the zoo.

The otters were out and swimming. The bears, lions & tiger were also out enjoying the cool weather. Peacocks could be found roaming the zoo as well as the fat squirrels that enjoy the other animals food.

The zoo is currently undergoing renovations and upgrades. Some parts of the zoo were roped off for this purpose but there was still plenty to see and enjoy. While this zoo doesn't have the big animals, elephants and giraffes, they still have plenty of animals to keep the kids attention.
