292 – The Peoria Zoo

Peoria Landmark #292peoria_landmark_2921

Forgive me, but I just couldn’t help laughing at the sign that says “Deforestation” while a pile of logs lay in the background. To be fair, the Peoria Park District did re-use as many of the trees as they could in building the Africa exhibit as is evident to anyone who visits.

Here’s some other pictures. It’s quite nice, but the “older” section appears to be now closed.

    Looks pretty spanky! I got the grandbaby a family pass last year for her birthday and renewed it already. They attended yesterday’s events and had a great time. Maybe I will have to accompany them next time.
