It was pretty cool playing blackjack surrounded by lions, giraffes, and elephants! Oh my! I hope they bring those back (and gussy them up a bit) when they reopen in the fall. When I was in elementary school we were taken there on field-trips at least once a year. We had a whole day to see the museum, the aquarium, a Planetarium show, watch the giant pendulum clock knock wooden pegs over, stare at the giant dinosaur bones... Sometimes we even got to run over to the Japanese Tea Garden and buy crappy souvenirs. It was great!
