My boyfriend and I went to Woodland Park Zoo a couple weeks ago. Last time I visited there was with my host family, and I couldn't see much because they had little kids. I don't blame them, though, since this zoo is huge! Even this time, just me and my boyfriend, we couldn't see all of it... Besides the size, it was pretty hot that day. AND I was stupid enough to wear heels (low but new, which makes it even worse!)…
Anyway, what I was going to say was I really like this zoo. I used to go to zoos in Japan when I was young, and of course I had a lot of fun. But after going to this zoo, my whole perspective of the zoo has changed greatly. This one is, well probably zoos in the States in general are, pretty different from the ones in Japan (if not they'd changed). This zoo itself is like a forest, and animals are not trapped in cages; they're put in the environment much more similar to their natural habitat. For the same reason, it’s refreshing to just walk around the zoo. A lot of trees and flowers also entertain your eyes :)
Here are a couple pictures I took at the zoo:
Giraffes looking for food (?)

My favorite, jaguar, taking a nap in the shade
This zoo isn't only for kids; I honestly think adults (without kids) can also have a great time. Just don't wear heels, Ladies.. I know it's probably just me ;p
P.S.
To my boyfriend,
I'm really sorry for being cranky pants that day.. I just want you to know that I DID enjoy this date!
