So one thing to remember with this package you are already going to the kangaroos and you are able to put them so you don't need the encounter for the kangaroos with this package. The owner realized that we purchased all three animal encounters and he was kind enough to refund us the kangaroo encounter. For their animal encounters it's like $10 each and I did like the scaly and cuddly encounter it was consist of bunnies, Hedgehog, sugar glider, a gecko, and a turtle and python. The other encounter I didn't like so much it was more of a learning about the animals which I think would easily be included with the behind the scenes instead of making it an encounter because they were just talking about the birds they were pretty birds but you don't really have an encounter with the animal the only thing that they did have an encounter with was the armadillo. I would definitely come back even though it's 3 hours away because it was so much fun and I definitely know what I want to get the next time I want the ATV Drive Through Safari package because that was so much fun and that was so worth it. They had huge camels horses zebras it's honestly an amazing experience and you need to try it.

We were anxious to head up to the beaches in Michigan, but some very intense Canadian wildfire smoke had the air quality so bad we decided to stay back as long as we could.. should we commit a full day to the Children's Museum? Nah. Go for a walk? Too hot and unfamiliar. What about this fun zoo? Score! It's extremely walkable here, shady in most parts, and very fair prices. Side note, they do zoo reciprocity and as Friends of the Zoo members in KC we got half price entrance. The animals are so close here! It's amazing. Right when we walked out it's like, 'that's the closest I've ever been to a flamingo!" and on it went like that. I enjoyed chatting with an honorary zoo keeper, who I assume was a high schooler. He told me it was his first day, and he was eager to teach me about wallabies and the like. Very cool program where kids get training and hands on experience with animals, customer service, etc. The highlight for me was hard to nail down to one, so we'll go in order: Anteater! What a cool, weird, unique animal. Not sure I'd ever seen one and loved it. And, the obvious choice.. a freaking snow leopard! I've read a book about the elusive snow leopard, aptly titled, "The Snow Leopard." It gave me such an appreciation for these insanely beautiful cats, and to see one here, in Normal IL on a random weekday in July blew my mind. I read more about it and a zoologist at this zoo was very successful with helping breed and support these cats, so it's a good story and not one who was just snatched out of a mountain in Nepal someday. Again, a nice pivot for us and I loved this zoo.

Well kept, clean, and lots of up close experience with animals. This is owned by Champaign Park district. It has a petting zoo with lambs, donkey, and small goat which you can visit from 3-5 pm everyday. Otherwise you can see horses, pigs, peacock, chickens, and even turtles. There is a small playground area off to the side that little ones will like. All and all fun for little kids and best of all free! Donations accepted to help feed the animal if you feel incline.

Right outside the museum, on the southside of the building is the Peoria Holocaust Memorial. This is a touching tribute from the community to those who died in the Holocaust. We lucked into going on a "community day" where there was a large festival outside celebrating Cinqo de Mayo. The advantage was that admission was free on that day. The downside was that the music from outside could be heard inside the museum. It was also very crowded with many children running around unattended. The museum featured an exhibit on American 250 curated by Ken Burns. The planetarium also has a really cool and interactive show explaining where the stars are in our solar system. The museum also features a variety of rotating exhibits. I highly recommend a visit to the Peoria Riverfront Museum.
