Always enjoy the Como Zoo, I loved it as a kid,and I still love it today, it is so fun to observe the kids as the look at the animals and to see their reactions. I especially like the big ape exibit. The best part, it that the Como is still free to the public which has always been a big help to single parents, who may not be able to afford to take their children to other places. |

I had fun. But we could not see the wolf. I think he was hiding. Next time I hope I see him. |

It was fun and great way to spend day with kids. |

I went to the Conservatory and read a story about Krishna. There were lots of colorful plants, big ones, short ones, all around. It was nice and warm in there, so I was glad to be there. |
