THE GOOD ZOO

This is my last set of pictures from my parents' visit. I took awhile to put these on because there's so many. We visited the Good Zoo at Oglebay Park in Wheeling, WV. It was a lovely fall day in the lovely, woodsy zoo.

Some birds of prey

Everyone looking down at....

a pig in the barnyard.

The barn where we saw several farm animals including some really neat barn owls.

This is the petting area with the typical goats and sheep.

This red panda was so cute!

There is a large pond and marsh where some wetland creatures live.

These are the Lorikeets, which we think are really beautiful and interesting. This particular pair of birds were interacting and entertaining us greatly. The one on the right was bobbing his head up and down very dramatically and scooting closer and closer to the bird on the left, who was warding the him off with her foot. Bird romance?

They definitely thought that Dad might feed them.
The amazing kangaroos.

Part way through the zoo there is a very fun playground for the kids to play on and for everyone to take a break from the animal viewing.

Even Dad tried out the slide.

A very good bench at the Good Zoo.

Isn't this a good one?

Looking tired and a little cold.

This picture is by William. He really wanted to take a picture himself.

Look at those eyes!

Looking at a spectacled bear that didn't come out enough to get a picture.

By the otters...

Inside at the zoo, there is a very extensive train set with miniature countryside scenes and towns...

a carnival

And last, what do you do at the end of a long day at the zoo? Amelia will show you.
