We haven't been to Columbus Zoo in a while despite the fact that it's literally in our backyard. We even let our membership expire because when we last visited in 2008, the experience left much to be desired. At that time, we felt that it wasn't as well-kept, could be cleaner, etc. Being Chicago transplants, we often compared it to the experience we got at the Lincoln Park Zoo. So we were quite surprised when we went back two weekends ago to see how things have changed significantly for the better, and how much the quality of the experience has been elevated from where we remembered it. The renovated entrance, for one, created such a strong positive first impression and set the tone for our visit. Our kids loved every minute of it-- the pony ride, seeing polar bears up close, the manatee exhibit. They wanted to see it all but there just wasn't enough time in one afternoon. It looks like we'll be renewing that membership after all. It's no wonder that USA Travel Guide rated it the #1 Zoo in America.

Before we moved out of Central OH, we were members of the zoo - - arguably the best in Ohio. We always have to visit the manatees! The special events are always good too - Boo at the Zoo and the Wildlights during the holidays (do watch out for the traffic and looong lines for those) - - tip is to get there before sunset to avoid the rush. My daughter's girl scout troop also had an overnight camp at the zoo and we had a terrific time. The behind-the-scenes night tour was an excellent way to experience the zoo. Hands on animal experience and pre-open tours also provided a unique experience for the girls. They hold these camps I think most of the year. A big huge bison charging at you is not something I easily forget :) I have not however ran into Jack Hanna yet....
