I need a Ladder
The zoo is one of my favorite places to go. Even when we go on vacations, we enjoy seeing the zoos or animal attractions. Sea World, San Diego is one of our favorite places to visit; we even held season passes for a couple years. When we no longer had free flight benefits we unfortunately had to let that love pass away.
The Hogle Zoo in Utah is nowhere close to Sea World, but it is the best we’ve got. We have a season pass and the girls and I enjoy occasional days at the zoo. My husband should and could come but a “great” excuse is always found right before we leave. He doesn’t love the zoo, but he does love Sea World. The Hogle Zoo is nestled in the mouth of Emigration Canyon. The zoo has a diverse foliage cover from many trees. The animal habitats are slowly growing bigger and better. The best part is the animals.
Although there are no Polar Bears or Lions, there are a plethora of other animals. My children always love the giraffes, white alligator (Ghost of the Bayou), monkeys, bears and zebras.
Our zoo pass allows my husband and I plus 1 other adult and up to 6 children into the zoo for free. The pass is about to run out and the money is not in the bank account to renew, come September 30, we can no longer explore the zoo without either paying a fee or renewing our membership. That is something that annoys me seeing that I pay taxes to upkeep the zoo yet I can’t go to the zoo without either spending a mini fortune on individual tickets or a season pass. Even with that annoyance, I still enjoy and love the zoo.
My mom had wanted to see the “Ghost of the Bayou” white alligator since it arrived in Utah over a year ago. Since she had a day off work we decided it was a good day for a zoo outing. Although the plans called for us to leave at 9:00, we were unable to head towards the zoo until after noon and with 3 extra kids in tow.
