But that was always a fun one too! And if you ever get a chance to get back to that city any time soon, definitely check out the big zoo. It is AMAZING now. :-)

I agree it was world class then and glad to hear it still is. (I also enjoyed the little “zoo” in Sims Park, which I lived in walking distance of for a few months.) I’ve been to most of the zoos on the Trip Advisor list and totally agree that Henry Doorly is the tops.

And yep, it’s easy to forget how wonderful these types of places are. I need to go back to exploring more of them.

And I agree that the Wichita Zoo is definitely one of the best — and one of the least expensive!

Sandy: Agree with everything you said! And I ran out of room or would have definitely mentioned the wonderful Pride of the Plains exhibit and those big cats. :-)

Trips to Wichita are regular occurrences for me and, at least a couple of times a year, I make a point of seeing the Sedgwick County Zoo with my grands. The children’s portion of the zoo is amazing…fenced areas where children can get up close to the goats, sheep, calves and various birds. The lion exhibit is a particular delight with a motion sensor placed along the path that sounds like a lion roaring just over your shoulder and you see the lions in as natural an environment as possible in an enclosed area. This is one of the best run best maintained zoos I have encountered in my travels.

We always got o zoos when we travel, but I must admit I like going to the two we have at home the best!
