Established in 1957, the Natural Science Center of Greensboro is designated a science museum and zoological park. Today, the center houses several interesting animals. The center has evolved from a place with a small petting zoo and some taxidermy animals and cast replicas to a place involved in saving and protecting species as well as educating the public on the needs of animals and their habitats.
The animal discovery zoo is open daily from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. If you are interested in visiting this summer, here is a partial list of animals that you can see. From an anteater to tigers to rare Javan gibbons, there is so much to see here. The aquarium with penguins and sharks is a fabulous addition. You ought to try to visit this summer. It is a great place to spend the day and it is expanding before our eyes.
Today is ABC Wednesday and to conclude our A-Z Urban Finds series, Z is for Zoo.
I love zoo's .... and I would like it very much to visit the zoo which you mention here....to far away, but who knows, maybe someday I am able to
Have a nice abcwednes-day / – week

I'm not a fan of zoos and hate, particularly, large animals and birds being deprived of their natural habitat.
This zoo seems to be an exception an i
I assume would be most useful in educating children.
It seems more like a museum, apart from the small animals for the children to pet.
Best wishes,
