Ah, a day off during the week. Time to go do some sightseeing at home. Decided to check out the zoo today, its been years since I was last there. Heck they even charge now - $4.50 to get in.

All in all my main impression: the zoo could use a bit of an overhaul. A lot of the cages seem overgrown with weeds and things. The habitats for critters like the bears seem a little too full of cement and lacking trees and things. They were working on a new cage for the lions who are only going to be here until October and as a result there were trucks and workers all over the place.

But it was a beautiful afternoon and Assiniboine Park itself is just as nice as ever.
