I love looking at all the animals at the zoo. They are making improvements and the zoo just keeps getting better all the time.

ZOO

The Zoo is fun because you get to go see a bunch of different animals. At the Portland Zoo they have Monkeys, Elephants, Polar Bears, Zebra's, Bobcats, Lions Tigers and Bears... Oh my! Well, and plenty more too. They also have a b-e-a-utiful lawn where they have concerts in the summer. Its nice to just relax on the grass and listen to some music. They have food stands and a restaurant to eat lunch at too.
You can drive to the Zoo in just a short trip from pretty much anywhere in the Portland Metro Area, but you should know they take off two dollars on your entrance fee if you show proof of a max ticket.
They have a gift shop upfront, and a information booth where they can inform you on special events and deals going on at the Zoo.
Bring a light jacket even in the summer just in case. It's almost all out in the open. No reservations are needed just go to the gate. Bring water and strollers for the kids as they might get tired. Oh and bring a camera, because you know you want to take a little of the Zoo home with you too.
