Toledo Zoo

The Toledo Zoo is becoming more well known every year. The zoo is known for it's ability to create outstanding exhibits in the little space it works with (about 65 acres). The zoos' Polar Encounter is known as one of the best in the country, this exhibit gives visitors the idea that seals and polar bear share the same exhibit. The zoos' Hippoquarium is the first underwater viewing exhibit of hippos ever. The Toledo Zoo has grown faster and faster. It's latest area is called Africa!, this area is home to African wild dogs and a large 5 acre exhibit that houses the zoos' giraffe, zebra, antelope, and birds. Visitors have the chance to ride a train around the large exhibt to get even closer. The zoo has built around it's old architecture and helped to mesh the new with the old. It's constantly changing and developing new things. The zoo has plans to build new exhibits for the elephants, rhino, and hippos. The zoo has a large collection of fish, primate, and has renonvated it's Children's Zoo making it better.
