Everybody loves a trip to the zoo! It’s perfect for the whole family—any age, boy or girl. The animals never cease to entertain, and there aren’t any TVs or video games to distract your youngsters. So why not take advantage of these national treasures and celebrate Visit the Zoo Day on December 27 as a family?
The first zoo dates back to 1500 BC in ancient Egypt! The tradition was passed down, all the way to the 1400s AD, when Columbus discovered “The New World.” A new world meant new creatures, and his discoveries renewed interest in zoos all across Europe. Today, there are over 2,800 zoos in the world, and over 6 million people visit them each year! So what if it’s too cold to go out to the zoo? Well, why not stay in with a good book about the zoo?
