Since I’ve been to Orlando FL several times now, I have already visited nearly all the things in the city that I wanted to see. So now it’s time to start moving to the outlying stuff.
The Central Florida Zoo is located in Sanford, about 20 miles from Orlando. It’s a nice little zoo. Alas, like most small zoos, it uses a lot of wire mesh in its enclosures, which makes photography difficult.
Some photos from a visit.
