Blank Park Zoo
Posted October 20, 2008 by Ima Local
Blank Park Zoo is a great way to spend the day with your family. While it is a smaller zoo, it has all your favorite animals and you can see them all in one day! The have a very nice big indoor Discovery Center and my kids especially enjoyed the African Boardwalk. Another neat and unusual exhibit was the Australian Trail where you can stroll among emus and wallabys. They have one of the best petting zoos but be prepared…
