It may seem a little unseasonal to go to the zoo at this time of year, but you will actually have a better opportunity to see some animals that may be more elusive during the summer months. Greg Bockheim, the Executive Director of the Virginia Zoo, stated that some of the animals "are more active in the cooler temps—like the red pandas and cheetahs."
Once you're done enjoying the outdoor attractions, swing over to the Conservatory to see the monkeys and sloths. You can even hit the new World of Reptiles to see lizards, turtles, and other awesome reptiles!
As you wander through the Virginia Zoo, remember to immerse yourself with the augmented reality tour! Download the Zapper app and use it on certain signs to get more information on the animals. You can listen to tidbits, watch videos, access specific web pages, and more at these locations:
