Visiting the Rochester Zoo was one of the highlights of our summer road trip!

There are so many amazing exhibits at the Seneca Park Zoo!

The zoo a fabulous place to see animals from all over the world, but it’s more than just that.  The Seneca Park Zoo is a conservation organization accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).   The AZA is “dedicated to the advancement of zoos and aquariums in the areas of conservation, education, science and recreation.” Watch this video to learn more about how the Seneca Park Zoo is involved in conservation efforts.

We were really impressed with all the stations throughout the Rochester zoo teaching guests more about the animals and their habitats with hands on materials. The staff at the Seneca Park Zoo is super knowledgeable and friendly!  Kids (and grownups, too!) were invited to feel a tiger pelt or learn about the types of vitamins that are given to animals to help them stay healthy.   The zoo really put education at the forefront, not just relying on plaques to give information.

Our most favorite exhibit was the lions, which can be view from several vantage points.  Their large Savannah habitat gives them plenty of places to roam.  The best viewing spot during our trip was inside a safari vehicle.  There, we saw a female lion napping right on the front of the vehicle.  The kids were just in awe of being able to see her so close.  We really got a great sense of just how big these “big cats” really are!
