This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the zoo! We started with the giraffes, where "they adore coming to eat the bread, make the curious". We saw the flamingos, then otters, tigers, panthers, penguins, lions, monkeys, antelopes, elephants, ostriches, and goats. We also visited the tropical greenhouse with snakes and crocodiles

Highlights: We really enjoyed giving bread to the giraffes and having them lick our fingers! "The children are in heaven." The kids loved the little goats, "The children can enter the enclosure to pet them and feed them." ✨
