I've always enjoyed going to zoos everywhere I visit, but so many zoos seem a little depressing because it feels like all the animals are just in cages. However, when I moved to Louisville I was pleasantly surprised to find our zoo is a lot different!
They've really striven to have individual habitats for most of the animals so that they are in more natural situations. I'd really like to see that for more of the animals, but at least it's a start!
You definitely have to check out the gorillas and the lorakeets! It's a fun way to spend the day. Make sure you have plenty of time to be leisurely in your walk around the paths here. For some reason it always seems a lot hotter there than walking in another part of town, so drink plenty of fluids and bring a stroller for the kids!!
