Philadelphia Zoo

Planning a zoo trip? Do you know what fun and excitement it could bring for not only the adults in your family but also for the kids in your group? A trip to a Philadelphia Zoo can be a wonderful experience both for the entire family and for the little ones in your group as well. However, it's not always easy to find places to keep the little ones entertained while they are there. Luckily, the Philadelphia Zoo has a number of locations where you can leave your little ones while at the zoo so they can still enjoy the sights and sounds of the zoo, but have their own little space to play with. For example, the zoo has two attractions that house live animals: the Philadelphia Zoo Science Museum and the Philadelphia Zoo Country Club. To help make that happen, the zoo has recently come up with the brilliant Zoo Zoom application. Using the iPhone or iPad, this app makes it easier than ever to plan out your perfect Zoo trip, with custom itineraries just for your individual preferences. For

  One of Monterey County's most popular playgrounds, Tatum's Garden, is fully accessible and was named for 5-year-old Tatum Bakker. It was the first such facility in Monterey County, and it's a place where children of all abilities can play together and grow through the gift of play. The new outdoor playground, which is accessible to all families, is set to open in the summer of 2015. Located on the edge of downtown Salinas, Tatum's Garden is a unique and beautifully decorated park. The garden is an all-inclusive playground that's being built by local residents and businesses to celebrate the agricultural history of the town. The park will have picnic areas, accessible parking, and a play area. The Bakker family plans to unveil the design at a May 10 public meeting.

  A 30 ft. tall fiberglass sculpture depicts a human eye. The piece is placed in a fenced garden. It is made of fiberglass, but the design is realistic. It looks like an eye would stare at you, so it's perfectly safe in the yard. The fiberglass sculpture can be viewed from all sides, and it's highly detailed. In fact, it's so detailed that it may scare young children who might want to play near it. The Giant Eyeball is a work of art created by a company that specializes in kitschy, kitsch sculptures. The artist, Johnathan Coster, has lived in Dallas for years. He originally had two eyes removed, but they couldn't survive. His friends and family helped him create the Giant Eyeball. Despite the deformity, he's now known for transforming ordinary objects into works of art. While the giant eyeball is famous for being the centerpiece of a city, its name evokes the specter of an eye that's about to go out of control. He has created a replica of the human eye, and his
