Review of Akron zoo

I was a kid of the '80s, so I pretty much grew up ...

I was a kid of the '80s, so I pretty much grew up at this zoo.The Akron Zoo was pretty much a city park with exotic animals in cages way back in the day and now I stand in awe and amazement of what they have done with this piece of beautiful land that was donated she did city of Akron way back in the fifties I believe and all of the exotic animals they have helped with a home. This will always be one of my favorite little zoos, I had always enjoyed bringing my sons here as they were growing up. My recent trip to the zoo was just awesome I was accompanied by my service dog who is in training, this was her 1st time at a zoo and also accompanied by my 17 year old son. The zoo welcomed my service dog with open arms, they even announced over the allowed speaker there was a service dog in the zoo. That in itself helped relieve a lot of my anxiety and made it so much easier to concentrate on training. But boy howdy how the memories just come flooding back walking through the zoo. I absolutely love the new addition wild Asian!!! Great time at the Akron Zoo even though it's small and doesn't take long to walk through as an adult it still an awesome place, especially for family with young children to come and hang out for the day. Can't wait we'll be back real soon for another visit!!!
