We finally made it to the Guadalajara Zoologico<\/a>, and boy were we impressed! Just coming in down a grandiose staircase and landing in front of a fountain surrounded by flamingos we were already taken with the place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we started to explore the beautifully landscaped zoo, we realized that it is huge! It was definitely a case where we had to pick and choose because there just wasn’t enough time to see everything. Little N loved the experience, was enthralled by the animals and just the general surroundings. Here’s a peak at our first trip to the zoo with a toddler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

First Trip to the Zoo with a Toddler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our first trip to the zoo was a huge success! The place was huge and really nicely landscaped; there was lots to look at in all directions.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little Boy loved looking at the animals. The monkeys especially got up close and personal, much to M’s chagrin.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn’t get a ton of pictures between taking the kiddo in and out of the stroller so that he could see, managing water and snacks, and trying to see as much as we could before lunch\/nap time.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We ended our visit with a train ride back to the park entrance and little family picnic. I’m glad we waited until Little Boy was a little older to go and we will most definitely be back!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
