I heart animals... and have a deep appreciation for them... considering I live in Hawaii and our zoo is uber sad... :(
Upon entering our picture was taken... we ended up buying 2 pictures with 2 different backgrounds... you know where you're surrounded by lions and tigers but you're not REALLY surrounded by lions and tigers lol... tourist trap but hey I thought it was cute!
Started out by the dolphins... ooh who doesn't love dolphins?! A trainer was feeding them and having them do some tricks for us... (the wave, or where they point and the dolphin swims to the other side of the tank, or jumping) just breathtaking to watch... we moved along to the other animals...
It was also cool to be so close to the lions and tigers. Some were asleep, some were just chillin on the tree branches, and one big cat was walkin around (he kinda creeped me out so I stayed a wee bit farther away from him lol)... I was just in awe. These animals are HUGE and can be deadly, but something about being in their presence a mere 30 ft away only separated by a fence... well... it has some sort of excitement and appeal.
We finally made our way to the secret garden gift shop... and I got a white bengal tiger stuffed animal holding a 3x5 photo frame that I could insert my own picture into... I think it's adorable...
For $20 a person... well worth it to me!
