When I was a little kid I thought this was the only zoo... period. Growing up and finding out there were zoo's all over was absolutely mind blowing for me. I begged my mom to take me to a bigger zoo. When she finally gave in and took me to Chicago I remember being overwhelmed and feeling like I could barely get close enough to see most of the exhibits. All I wanted was to go back home to the zoo I was accustomed to.

Over the years I've been to a ton of other zoo's and none of them quite have the same feel as Potawatomie. It's big enough to have the privilege of hosting other zoo exhibits that are in rotation but small enough to make me feel at home. No matter how far I move away or how many other places I go this place will always hold a special place in my heart.
