Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens Jacksonville Zoo review

On Sunday, May 27 I took a trip with my family to the Jacksonville Zoo to spend the day there. Me and my sisters got value tickets which allowed us to do extra things.
The first thing we went into was Stingray Bay a typical touch tank with cownose and southern stingrays. It was interesting getting to touch rays and watching them fly through the water.

Then we went into the Plains of East Africa loop, where we first saw warthogs in all their ugliness wallowing in the mud. Then we saw a single cheetah in its own area which then went into an area with a male ostrich, two white rhinos, and several female kudu. After going thru the reptile exhibit we then got some really nice views of elephants feeding and greeting one another.
Then we went into the giraffe overlook which had at least six giraffes roaming in the exhibit.
 
Then we saw the Amur leopards in their exhibit, one was sleeping and the other was pacing around.
Next was Range of the Jaguar where we saw not only jaguars, but also many different snakes like anaconda,and bushmaster snake. There were also cotton top tamarins and pigmy marmosets among other things.
We then went through the Australian and Asian exhibits which included a butterfly garden and Dinotrek.
Finally we went through the great apes area where we had some very nice views of bonobos.
This is my first review, but I hope you like it
