Tanganyika Wildlife Park

Today we had an awesome family day at Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard, KS. If you get a chance, I would definitely recommend going. It was such a hands on experience for the kids - they loved it! We were able to walk very close to many of the animals, and even pet a kangaroo and ride a camel. The best part was there wasn't much walking --- which was a nice change from most zoos. Andrew could have walked the whole thing, but instead we had both him and Grant in the stroller and Tyler in the wheelchair. We had an amazing afternoon and would go back in a heartbeat!

Baby snow leopards

Lemurs - the baby was so cute and VERY active

The aviary for the parakeets was cool. The birds were flying right around our heads and right next to us. The one lady in there said they'd landed on her shoulder and climbed around her head. I'd never been that close to birds before.
