first trip to the wonderful Tama Zoological Park.
* Thanks to Ryan's review (I never knew about Tama Zoo until I found
it on Sunnypages!), I brought my nearly-three-year-old son out to
Tama Zoo on a sunny Tuesday afternoon in late May. We had a
fantastic time.

lion was really scary!" with a big smile on his face. That right

Gypsy likes to wipe windows, scrub floors, and manage the amount of
grass in the enclosure.
