Franklin Zoo Visit


Our visit to the Franklin Zoo was really neat!

We had a guided tour with the resident vet, and she was really interesting.  She has a real love of conservation, and of rehabilition for animals.  It was very interesting hearing her talking about her passion in relation to the various animals that Franklin Zoo is currently involved in rehabilitating, including their gorgeous ex-circus elephant.


Our guide was very skilled in making her talk interesting for us Mums, but also stopping periodically and talking on our children's level so they remained interested.

The kids had the opportunity to feed the Zebra, some sheep and a goat.  And of course the ducks.  :o)

This zoo is definitely well worth the visit if you are looking for something a little outside of the normal 'zoo box'.
