Visiting the Santa Ana Zoo for the First Time

We went with our friends to the Santa Ana Zoo for the first time a few weeks back.  It's a really cute local zoo with lots of primates and a rain forest like setting. It costs $10 for adults and $7 for kids 3years and up.

We love looking at turtles. Their pond had several different species that were either resting on the bank or swimming about.

                               The Lion Tamarin was their favorite animal to look at at the zoo.

                                 We loved watching this lemur show off his acrobatic moves.

                             Charlotte's least favorite animal to look at was definitely the ant eater.
                                                    She was horrified. We quickly moved on.

                         Charlotte's first ride on a carousel. Ava got lucky because no one else was on
                                                 the  ride and she got to sit on the leopard.

                                                                    Petting the goats.

One of the really cool things about visiting the Santa Ana Zoo was that Ava got to identify and name a few of the animals that she has learned about on her favorite show, Go Diego Go. She saw a Cotton-Top Tamarin, a blue macaw, lemurs, and several different types of turtles.
