This week my fiance planned a fun family outing to the Minnesota Zoo! The winters can get long here in MN and that is when we usually visit the zoo more often as well as Mall of America. He planned the day for our son (Ben), myself, as well as his awesome grandparents and we all piled in the van for the trip! I was a little surprised at how little our child was interested in the animals this time considering the fact that he can now recognize so many. All he was interested in doing was running down the pathways and finding little areas to explore! After a full belly from lunch, he finally started to settle down. We took a walk on an outdoor trail and then took a ride on the monorail before we headed home. I am sad to announce that after this summer the Minnesota Zoo will be shutting down the monorail for good! It was very inexpensive to hop on it for a ride so be sure to take your kiddos for one last ride on it before they close it down!
Plan a trip to the Minnesota Zoo with your loved ones!
