Hello! Last week, I got to enjoy some time at the Cleveland Zoo and it was such a blast. This zoo offers at least five major exhibits including the Asian Highlands, Australian Outback, African Savannah, and so much more. There is also a separate building that mimics a tropical rain forest for you to explore. It’s so cool! Here are some of the pictures that I snapped throughout the day for your viewing pleasure:
It is always so amazing to take a trip to the zoo, especially a big one like the Cleveland Zoo, so that you can see all of your favorite animals up close and personal. I am a lover of all creatures big and small, but when I am at the zoo, I am incredibly partial to the monkeys because they all have such distinct personalities. It was a hoot to see one of the monkeys passed out in a cat nap and the tiny black one licking his fingers after a yummy treat. But, the orangutans will always be my number one favorite.
Orangutans are such fascinating creatures to me, and I could seriously watch them all day. You can genuinely see such human like traits in their eyes like empathy and humor and I would give anything to be able to interact with them. The baby orangutan seen in the last two pictures above definitely stole the show, though. You could tell that he or she was having the time of its life just monkeying around and making us humans laugh. He was doing yoga-like poses, snuggling with his mom and dad, and playing dress up with the burlap sack. It doesn’t get much cuter than that!
What is your favorite animal to see at the zoo? Do you have a zoo that you like to frequent in your neck of the woods? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
OMG!! I am obsessed with animals and going to the zoo! My mom and I once did a safari in South Carolina and got to play with baby tigers and Orangutans and I just about died, it was the best experience of my life! I’m glad you had a good time and thank you for sharing your adventure with us! 💗😍🐘🐵🦍🐅

I freaking love the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo! I grew up with this zoo and have always loved that rain forest area! Nothing beats it! Well, maybe besides the Smithsonian zoo ‘cuz pandas ;).

Well, when I lived in Cleveland I went all the time either with school or family or friends! Now I only get the Pittsburgh zoo which is about a solid 3/5. Their PPG aquarium is nice but facilities just can’t compare! I’d even stack the Cleveland zoo up against the San Diego one just because it isn’t $50 to get in!
