I visited The Maryland Zoo for the first time during my last semester of college with my roommates Jody and Brittani. We went with Brittani's father and brother and we all had a really great time. I am very thankful that I was given the opportunity to experience the zoo! I would recommend The Maryland Zoo to people of all ages! It is a beautiful zoo that is well taken cared for. The staff all seemed to enjoy their jobs and care deeply for the animals. My favorite animals were the elephants and penguins. I would definitely come back to visit the zoo again! It is a perfect way to spend your day with loved ones.
