One of the highlights of the anniversary trip Studly Doright and I took this past week was a visit to the Jacksonville Zoo. We’d heard great things about this particular zoo and we weren’t disappointed.
Knowing the temperatures were going to rise into the high 90’s on Friday, with a heat index of 110° predicted, we checked out of our wonderful hotel room at Margaritaville on Jacksonville Beach early and were at the zoo when the gates opened.
This zoo was kind of magical. The habitats were spacious and creatively designed with walkways for the animals that allowed for closeup viewing without restrictive cages.
At each exhibit there were volunteers explaining how the animals had been acquired and the steps taken to provide the optimal habitat for each of the zoo’s residents. It was a great way to spend a few hours.
Peace, people!

Feeding giraffes at the SD wild Animal Park interior safari will forever be a highlight of my life!!
That’s a wonderful zoo. I hadn’t heard of it before. Thank you for sharing!!

So much fun! I love going to zoos where I can get the chance to take photos of some of my favorite animals. It has been forever since we’ve been to one, though.

We’ve been to a few different ones as we tend to find them, or aquariums, when we travel.
