I have many fond memories of visiting the zoo with family and my school. I remember when you could ride the camels and take a picture, my mom still has the photo.

Now that I'm older and have my own children I visited this weekend and am so happy to see the constant improvements and new exhibits. The cafe is gorgeous. The water playground is a gem when you get tired of walking around in the heat with a cranky toddler. I especially love the little tables and chairs in corners of the zoo to sit down and eat snacks I brought with us. I nursed my baby there comfortably and then when we continued our tour I was delighted to see they actually have a breastfeeding nook in the kids area by the food shack.

Sea lion cove is another favorite and to be able to see them swimming underwater was an awesome experience. Thank you Chaffee zoo and staff. Your hard work and dedication is appreciated by many families.
