We were offered a deal through OSU to attend the Zoo Wildlights before they officially opened to the public. It was Veterans day and Veterans were distinguished guests as well with free admission. We met Stephanie and Marcus and wandered the entire zoo looking at all the amazing lights and seeing some of the animals. Not all of the zoo was open for zoo lights. The Africa section and Primate sections were both closed. We did get to watch the artic foxes playing for quite a while. That was worth the $5 admission right there. We also saw polar bears, grizzly bear up close sleeping, mountain lion, moose, reindeer, elephants, rhinos, tigers, flying foxes, sloth bear, the aquarium, manatee, australia area and reptile house. We ended up spending almost 3 and a half hours there.
