Oregon Zoo

12 10 2009

This is a very nice Zoo. Personally I like this zoo quite a lot compared to San Diego Zoo (SD Zoo, I went in 2006). Since it’s Oregon, it very natural and very refreshing walking in here. The zoo is very organized, separated into Great Northwest, Pacific shores, Primates and Africa. Each of them will have separate themes such as Amazon flooded forest etc. The display and exhibits window covers quite a large view and can be seen from a big angle :) But one downside might be just that the types of animals are not as much as what San Diego has. Overall, I like it as it’s simple and nice and not much of repeatation and can be more up close and personal with the animals there.

The fare for adult is $10.50, car park is $2, there’s a fall package for $15, included $5 food and train loop. I didn’t take up the fall package as I wasn’t planning to stay too long there for the meal and the zoo train loop, since it’s not too big of a zoo, for me I feel I can do it on foot whole. But, if I do have the time, I might go for this, get to sit inside the train, loop around and have a nice lunch there.

If you are going sometime now, get gloves, hat and a thicker jacket. It appears that it’s more cool there :)
