Another trip to the zoo...

I'm on my third field trip to the zoo this summer - this time Little Man's class headed to Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, Michigan. The biggest feature of this zoo is the Wild Africa part of the park with it's safari full of zebras, ostrich, and other various safari animals. The most popular attraction is the giant and friendly giraffas where you can get on a platform at their head level and feed them biscuits and lettuce. This zoo is really a full day trip as you can spend a half day easily in the Africa section, which is a ways away from the rest of the zoo. It can be a bit much for little kids so plan on a wagon or stroller but it offers a great experience for all ages.
