Topeka Zoological Park

The Topeka Zoo is a perfectly-sized zoo in Gage Park in northern Topeka, Kansas. I say perfectly-sized because it has just enough exhibits, animals, and activities to keep you (and your family) entertained for a morning or afternoon but not so many that you have to run around all day and end up exhausted. Also, they have the perfect combination of animals to make for an interesting visit. They have the African classics like lions, elephants, giraffes, gorillas, and hippos, but also some impressive local specimens like mountain lions, river otters, coyotes, and bears. Oh, and did I mention that there’s a Sumatran tiger? Well, there is…and it’s spectacular!
