{Outdoor Play Party: We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo!}

I really never appreciated zoos until I had children. They have so much to offer!

The animals...

The learning opportunities....

The family time....

And the playtime!

We went to one of our favourite zoos last week, the Vienna Zoo. It's the world's oldest zoo. We always have a wonderful day there, and they have the most fantastic playground! We go every spring, and have always found something new to see and do (once we even saw a baby giant panda being, er..., "made"! And the following spring we saw the new baby panda!).

What's your favourite zoo?


The last Outdoor Play Party brought us 48 ideas for playing outdoors, including these BEAUTIFUL (really, they were!) mudpies from Mummy's Busy World.

And this fun ice cube building blocks activity from Train Up A Child.

We'd love for you to share your children's outdoor play related posts with us, too!
