My mom and I visited the Sacramento Zoo for the first time yesterday. Located in Land Park, it is right next to Sac City College and a number of other family-oriented amusements. The park itself is smaller than the SF Zoo, but was a perfect size for a five-hour stroll, which was about all the walking we had in us. Highlights of the park included the opportunity to pet a dwarf hedgehog named Ebony, the leopards, the snoozing lions, and the giraffes. Oh, those giraffes. There were three giraffes outside the barn while we were there; they have a barn similar to the one at the SF Zoo. They posed and played with passersby, and we spent about half an hour snapping them. All in all, a great place for a fun afternoon!
