We won free passes to the Dickerson Park Zoo through their Tuesday Trivia. My husband and I took our two toddlers and we had a wonderful time. My son, 2, loves animals. We went from exhibit to exhibit and he would get so excited and start pointing to the animal and if he knew what it was he'd tell us. My daughter, 8 months, just looked around and tried to take it all in. My son was able to feed the giraffes which are one of his favorite animals. He got to pet one of the goats at the feeding area, another animal he is fond of. And both children enjoyed watching the otters play. It was a great day for all four of us, and we're looking forward to going back soon.
