The other day I went to the Zoo, since it is cold outside, the water fountains were not on. Everyday it costs about one million dollars to open the zoo everyday. The animals I had a chance to look at were the orangutans, gorillas, the "big cats", and the reptiles. My favorite animal was the turtles. A few times I was lost, but there were many signs to direct you to were to go as well as information on the animal displays about them. There is a building called The Tree House. In the Tree House, it is a place where little kids can play around on life-size caterpiilars and things like that. There are paddle- boats shaped like swans. I learned that all monkeys don't swing from tree to tree and they aren't always active.
