TwinkiesMom - > I'm Just Saying... -> Micke Grove Zoo is Great!
Micke Grove Zoo is Great!

Since we were going to be in Elk Grove on Saturday afternoon, I took my daughter and her friend down to the Micke Grove Zoo in Lodi...we had a great time. If you read my previous blog posting, I didn't even know there was a zoo in Lodi, and we weren't disappointed.

The zoo is small, but for the price (A $5 parking fee and $2 for adults and $1 for kids to enter) it was a great deal. (FYI, there is also a Funderland-type place next door, but it wasn't open...maybe just in the spring/summer?). There was hardly anyone there, so we had plenty of room to run around. The first animals we came upon were Buster and Mac, father/son sea lions. They were very cute and seemed quite content swimming around in their pool. We were also lucky to see feeding time at 3 p.m, where the keepers work with the animals and then answer questions.

The zoo also has some monkeys and gibbons as well as a very cute and cuddly (as long it's in a cage!) mountain lion. But by far my favorite were the two bald eagles. I think I've only seen pictures of a bald eagle, so to see one up close if very cool. They are a lot bigger than they seem in pictures!

So it's a bit of a drive from Sac, but if you have a full tank and a few hours to kill, it's a good deal. Their Web site is mgzoo.com. Enjoy!
