Sedgwick County Zoo!

Honestly I know it's been 10 years or more since I have been to a zoo. The last time I went was in 1996 and it was the Oklahoma City Zoo. I went recently with Michael and we had a hoot. It took us about 3hrs to make it through most of the areas at a liesurely pace. We skipped the North America section because quite frankly we've both seen coyotes and groundhogs!
"The Jungle" section was a really cool really humid indoor area complete with tropical birds, bugs, and bats. These bats were really cool to look at. They were fruitbats and had babies clinging to them, and they were about 2 feet long and were hangin from the roof.
I most enjoyed the guarilla section and the chimpanzees as well. The big guys were very active and put on quite a show for the crowd. We took several pictures of them, I just loved the one where it looks like the little guy is picking at my hair.
The safari section was very interesting as well. The poor lion was laying up against the glass totally eyeing the visitors with strollers.:) I decided to lay down beside him so we could take a few pics!
I really enjoyed my day at the zoo and recommend that you make a day of it when it's not so freakin hot, and it was the most entertaining $20 I've spent in a while.
