Toledo Zoo and Aquarium, Toledo, Ohio

Free admission for mothers on Mothers day and free admission for fathers on Fathers day with your children of course. Definitely you can expect large crowds on these days. A perfect place for family outing on a summer day. Be prepared for long walks which can be bit strenuous for younger children. 
The zoo starts off with Arctic encounter where you can watch several animals like Penguins, Polar bear up close. A short walk away is Safari Railway, runs around the African safari where you can catch a glimpse of animals feeding or resting under a tree shade. Cross the bridge to get to more exhibits. Flamingos, Elephants, Lions, Camels, Apes, Reptiles and what not .This zoo houses vide variety of animals and it is a lot of ground to cover !!!
Zoo staff rolled out a big cart with a big snake on it. Kids gathered for a petting session while scared parents like me stood few feet away watching 😕
Make sure to visit the Aviary. It houses varied species of birds from all across the globe. Lot of gift shops and food stalls to pick up a souvenir or quench your thirst on a hot summer day. Make sure to bring extra water bottles and have fun.
