Earlier this week, we went to the Franklin Park Zoo. It was the first time any of us had ever been there that we remember.
What a wonderful trip.
I remember hearing about it from my mother, who visited the zoo when she lived in Boston growing up. It was actually a long ride to get there - about one hour - but it was pretty scenic, particularly on the VFW parkway. Wow - now that's a road. According to Mom, Cardinal Cushing once lived there. And we also passed the Arnold Aboretum. We will have to visit there, too.
What a great zoo. Very neat, clean, and well laid out. We had a chance to see the rain forest exhibit and the Serengheti exhibit. Bri loved the lions and Kiff thoroughly enjoyed the giraffes.
Of course, we got something to eat there, but the prices were quite affordable (only $24 for the four of us) and the food was good, too.
And what trip would not be complete without a visit the the gift shop....LOL....but we kept the cost down there, too.
As we left, we realized that we will have to play a closer look to the Zookeeper, which was filmed there, the next time we watch it.
