Aloha Safari Zoo

The Aloha Safari Zoo is a FANTASTIC place.  In my opinion its a better trip than the zoo. If you've seen the movie, We Bought a Zoo, then you will understand Aloha Safari Zoo.  The people that work there are so friendly and make you feel like you are part of the family. We went last year and loved it, so it was a must for this year as well. We even invited Aunt Kay! So happy she could come with us.

I wasn't sure how Liam would handle the animals, because some of them you can get up close and personal with. The first animal was a snake, he had no problem touching that thing. The horses he was unsure about, and the goats and pigs he LOVED! He could have stayed there all day.  He got to feed them and was calling them over yelling "goat....pig." 

The zoo has a ride that you can take around the property to see more animals. We got on the wrong side and it wasn't as good as last year. Noted! We will remember next year. Every family got a loaf of bread that you threw at the animals as we drove by.  Liam enjoyed that part! 

After the safari ride we fed carrots and lettuce to Stretch the Giraffe. Liam was unsure of this thing. Which I get...he's pretty tall! 

After feeding Stretch we had a picnic lunch and walked around the property. This zoo is so small that they don't offer any food and only have porta potties.  But even the porta potty was worth it. . . we love this place! 

The bear put on a show for us. He was swimming, throwing toys, and climbing. Here he is standing up tall throwing a hose in the air. 

See you next year!
