LYNWOOD ZOO

[katjamiles]

I was impressed with it. It is located in a rural area (Richlands area) surrounded by a county neighborhood but it had a lot more space and animals then I was expecting. While it was mostly farm animals-and not necessarily american farms- (steer, sheep, goats, fowl, a miniature horse, bunnies, etc) they also had fun ones like: a fox, zebras, bobcat, owls, raccoon, tortoise/turtles, rodents, and a giant african porcupine! Luna loved feeding the pigmy goats and petting the animals they brought out for educating purposes (snakes, *shudders*). The zoo offers lovely scenery to look at while sitting and relaxing at the picnic tables by the pond. I saw no snack shack, though-unless it was with the ticket office in the front. As it is considered a smaller zoo, it is CASH ONLY and they do not have their own ATM at hand. A worthy note to remember is that they offer porta potties rather than an indoor outhouse. I have a thing for taking pictures of the zoo animals at every place we settle in, so I was mighty happy to go! I hope you all enjoy it when visiting! yay!
