Saturday before Easter we took the boys to the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro. We had not been as a family in almost 4 years so the boys didn't even remember it (although Brendan has been back on a school field trip). We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful resource close by, and I am saddened that we have not taken advantage of the zoo more.
Taken from the zoo's website:
"Located just south of Asheboro, the North Carolina Zoo is seated on a 1,500 tract of land in the Uwharrie Mountains. Approximately 500 acres of this property have been developed into one of the largest "natural habitat" zoos in the United States. You won't find cages made of steel and concrete here! Our animals are given enclosures that mimic their natural habitats to include trees, ponds, rocks, grass and dirt."
We had a great time, and I took a lot of photos that you can view in the following slide show if you like.
