Our Zoo and Aquarium Expert Says:
Did you know that meerkats live together in a group called a mob, and that they display a remarkable degree of teamwork? It's true, and you can check out the mob scene at Mercat Lookout exhibit. Kids Cove has a giant bird's nest with eggs into which you and your loved ones can climb. You can also learn how to milk a cow, or just have fun sliding through a waterfall.
