Hee Haw, it's the Columbus Zoo by tvdandy
The Columbus Zoo is a so so zoo. I am spoiled because I lived in San Diego with the best zoo in the country and Chicago with the Lincoln Park Zoo, which was free. Decent aquarium and reptile house. Big enough to make it a decent walk. Has all the typical animals, no more, no less. Don't go on a hot day, or you will suffer. If you go on a weekend, expect to fight for space to look at the animals.
