A wonderful start would be at the Rio Grande Zoo, which is home to some very large and exciting polar bears, lions and gorillas and amazing exhibits. The highlight of the day happens when the attendants feed the seals, the sea lions and the polar bears. You may want to hop on board the train that travels through the zoo, it runs every twenty minutes. While you ride along, the conductor will share all the inside secrets of the zoo with you as well as the points of interest. By early afternoon, you may consider taking the train to the Aquarium. The marine life is exceptional and every afternoon between 2-3pm the divers enter the depths of the shark tank to do the daily maintenance. It's a thrill to watch the sea turtles and the rays swim around the tank with such grace. Don't worry the days not over, the fun will continue as you enter the Botanical Garden. The kids adore the barnyard petting zoo at the 20th century farmhouse barnyard and they will have a great time at the Children's Fantasy Garden.
