[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zoo Camp at National Zoo was my animal obsessed child’s favorite. [/quote]

I was gojng to suggest this but are they still running it since the death of FoNZ?

The Smithsonian natural history museum has really interesting animal displays if they aren’t bothered by taxidermy.  You’ll never get so close to a giant sloth anywhere else!

The zoo in Baltimore use to let you feed the giraffes. The Tucson zoo also does this.

Speaking of Tucson, the Sonoran desert museum is a great place to learn about desert animals.

If you are up in PA, zoo America at Hershey is actually a cute little zoo focused just on American animals so includes some you don’t see at other zoos.

Some people do farm stays in Lancaster — we never did that.

Does the NPS site at oxon hill still have cow milking?

Another freebie — the old Maryland farm at Watkins Park in PG and the nature center at the same location.  The nature center has tons of rescued raptors and tjrtles and does good presentations on raptors and reptiles.  The zoo part has pony rides and some other farm type animals.  Add in the historic carousel, mini train, and the wizard of oz themed playground and this is a great day out.

Frying Pan Park in Virginia at least sometimes has cow milking.[/quote]
