"Interesting" Zoo Information

Let me begin by saying that I expected the Toledo Zoo to be busy and filled with strollers. My mom and I planned to be efficient to not add to the chaos, which is way we didn't take a stroller. With that said, we had a great time looking at animals, watching Megan watch people and animals, but most of all we had fun people watching and gathering fun zoo facts.
  1. Apparently to go to the zoo you have to have a minimum of 5 poorly done and distasteful tattoos. (yes I think all tattoos are bad but these were just ugly and lots of them)
  2. I also did not get the memo that for every 1 child you had, you must have 2.5 strollers/wagons.
  3. But don't worry, even if all of your children are of walking age, you must have at least 2 wagons filled with crap to haul around with you.
  4. Mt. Dew is the best form of hydration on hot days for 5 year olds.
  5. Oh and the signs that say "Don't tap on the glass" you can ignore those!
  6. And last but not least, apparently the zoo is now the place you go to pick up the opposite sex, so be sure to wear your skimpy clothes and high heal shoes.

Those were just some of the things my mom and I discussed while walking around the zoo. We did have a great afternoon and the majority of people were perfectly zoo friendly. I just couldn't resist sharing our interesting zoo information.

Must have been a real treat running into those zoo facts. We noticed many of the same facts on our visit to the zoo.

Oh and not to mention the wild crazy kids. They are allowed to run and be on their own. I remember my school trips to the zoo and we had to be with adult and we stayed together with no running and yelling. I guess that has all changed.

Glad that you had a great time.
