Not only do I love the warm humid environment of the massive greenhouse, but I also love the earthy smells, the smells of the plants and exotic flowers, along with the more known species. There is also a simulation of a rain forest in another part of the zoo that I like to go to, when I am in that area. It&#8217;s amazing. Complete with the alligators, turtles, fish and all kinds of birds native to the rain forests. Not to mention the really unique plant life. I&#8217;m in seventh heaven when I&#8217;m there and always plan to be away from the time they open in the morning, until they close in the evening. I&#8217;m really looking forward to this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This coming weekend if all goes well, I&#8217;m planning on going to the Zoo, that is in the city that I grew up and go home to nearly every other week.
