This is one of my favorite parts of the zoo. There are 3 ducks here, they are so friendly and they love french fries. I'm not saying that I fed them french fries, but I'm also not saying I didnt. These little ducks did not go hungry at lunch when i was there. We got lucky and got lunch right before the rush, obviously the food wasnt amazing but it's a zoo, that's part of the experience. Dont feed the ducks veggies because they dont like them The actual eating area was pretty clean and well shaded which was good. Lots of room to eat

How nice to be at the zoo again! In these crazy covid19 times, it's so satisfying to do something normal, like go to the zoo. So nice to see the animals.
