Oct 4th is great for us! The zoo has a playground area for the kids to play in, where we can all sit and talk after seeing the sights.

Did anyone have a time preference? Any lunch plans, either before or afterwards? Lots of great eating places nearby. If anyone would like to shop, Columbiana Mall has a food court with a large carousel. Or there is another small mall very close to the zoo with a Lizard's Thicket and a Chic-fil-a nearby. I think there might be a picnic area outside the zoo, too, if anyone is interested in eating there. Food inside the zoo is rather expensive, of course.
