Hello! Just a new member introduction from someone in Columbus, Ohio. I recently returned to the area. I was born here and grew up going to the Columbus zoo nearly every weekend with my parents and grandparents until we moved away when I was still young. I wish I could remeber those visits better, because according to my family, it was common in that time period -- early 1980s -- to encounter Jack Hanna around the zoo and so I met him multiple times. My mom once told me that the monkeys (I believe) there seemed to be quite interested in me, the infant in her stroller! I visited the zoo for the first time in close to three decades yesterday and the only thing I remembered was the large pond and its bridge which are near what is now an area with tables and umbrellas set up for dining. Thanks for letting me join!
Welcome to ZooChat ! Maybe you or your family still have some intresting photos from your childhood-visits to the Columbus Zoo ? I guess several ZooChatters ( me included ) would be intrested in seeing them !
