We're Zoo Members at a pretty fantastic zoo, we also have reciprocity benefits and sometimes drive up to 5 hours to visit other ones.. ours is the best within that radius though.lol. Anyway, the children's zoo portion has a full petting zoo where you can brush and feed the goats. Actually our local amusement park, where we have passes to as well, (I'm a huge fan of memberships/annual passes lol) has a petting zoo too.
We spend enough time at both that I hate to spend an hour doing the same while at AK.
Like I said though, I love the rest of Planet Watch.
