Blank Park Zoo is a really nice zoo for the area. There are a lot of animals to check out. Some of the animals are in open areas where you can walk into, which is really cool. There are a couple places to get lunch. We just had hamburgers and fries because we didnt find the nicer place in time for lunch. The prices were ok, not over priced too much. Admission was around $6. Deffinately check it out.
