I promised more, and here they are! (Click here to see part one from last week.)
Again, this is the Metro Richmond Zoo, which is a fun, interactive place to hang out.
You can feed the animals pretty much everywhere, but the giraffe stations are the most popular. ↑
The air lift ride gives you a great view of the cheetahs and takes you directly over the rhino enclosure. ↑

So this set of pictures spans a few years. Turns out I never edited too many or uploaded the older shots, so I’m throwing them in here. If you’ve seen any of my zoo posts, you know I love the big cats, so I’m trying to limit the sheer amount of them in this post. Because I took so, so many.
The Metro Richmond Zoo has a large variety of animals, which is awesome! It can be rather difficult to take pics through the enclosures, but the amount of different animals and the interactive feel make it a fun day.
They’ve got a train you can ride inside an enclosure with antelope and gazelle, an air lift that takes you over the rhinos, two walk-in aviaries, and feeding stations throughout the entire zoo. I believe the last time I stopped by they had added a ropes course as well.

So the Zoo. The Smithsonian National Zoological Park, to be exact.
You know I love big cats, and they have LOTS. And red pandas. And pandas, wolves, foxes, cheetahs, and so many great animals the Norfolk Zoo doesn’t have. The only thing I don’t like is that you have to backtrack so much. And the hills. I hate the hills. If you enter from the road/metro station areas, then it’s downhill as you walk through and uphill on the way back.
But overall, it’s a fun visit!
What’s your favorite part of the National Zoo?
(Mine’s obviously the big cats.) ;-)
