Princesses and Peacocks

We woke up to a beautiful summer day, so early morning I decided to get out of the house with the family and go visit some wild life at ZooAve.

I really like going there with my toddler for varius reasons:
It's only 30 minutes outside of San Jose
Cheap
And it's not too big, so she can run around and look for animals without getting bored or too tired. It takes about an hour.
And afterwards we have a snack (or picninc during dry season when the grass is not muddy).

There is parking right in front, but I prefer to park in the parking lot, 60 m from the entrance, so I can safely take out strollers and kids without worrying about the traffic.



My little one wanted to dress like a fairy princess this morning...why not?








Where the turtles play



Great access for wheelchairs or strollers



How cute is this?!



There is a small shop that sells drinks and snacks with some tables. Mom and Dad can sit here and relax while the kids do their final run around.



Lovely picnic area



Peacocks everywhere!! The kids love running after them and looking for feathers.





Zoo Time

The baby has been very excited lately whenever wild animals are on TV, so I thought to look for a zoo close by. The closest one is actually in the city, called Simon Bolivar Zoo.
It is very small and will take you maybe an hour to stroll through the entire zoo. The animals are mostly local except for a big african lion but they are well taken care of. It is definitaly something you can do with the kids if you need to get out of the house. It opens at 8 am and closes at 3:30 pm.
