Jacksonville Zoo

Last weekend I went to the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens where they had the Destination Dino exhibit. After paying $27.95 for a value ticket I was able to go through the stingray exhibit, watch the movie in the 4D theater as well as have unlimited train and carousel rides.

The Destination Dino exhibit was incredibly well put together with realistic looking dinosaurs that moved and made sound. The 4D movie was also great, it featured the characters from the movie Ice Age and was not only informative but funny.

If you are willing to pay a little extra for nectar, the area with the birds was one of the most interesting parts. The Zoo essentially made a large bird cage that you can walk in to and at the door you can pay for a little cup of nectar. If you hold the nectar the birds will just fly up and land on your arm to drink the nectar.

This would be a great place to take your children in  because it is very interactive, while you are in the large bird cage a worker from the zoo is walking around informing people of all the different birds flying by.

If you plan on attending the zoo make sure you have a full day, it is incredibly large and has so many fun and interesting things to look at.
