With a free Monday for my mom, Ashley, me and Taylor, we decided to make the most of the nice weather and venture out to the little-known Santa Ana Zoo. I was sure they would have a small collection of the standard zoo favorites – giraffes, tigers, hippos, elephants, and gorillas. On the way to the zoo, I was telling Taylor all about the animals we were going to see…
The good news is that with adult admission being only $6, you really don’t feel that gypped, when you learn that it’s really a glorified petting zoo with a few monkeys and a rescued bald-eagle that accompany the pigs, goats, sheep and one cow.
We all did enjoy the train ride around the farm animal exhibit, hosted by a very cute retired conductor!
However, we all had a great time, and at 16 months, Taylor was none-the-wiser. Maybe when she’s two, we’ll try the impressive LA or San Diego Zoo!!
