Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, founded in 1882, sits on 183 acres of land. It is a popular attraction for those living in Northeast Ohio. The zoo provides interactive experiences to teach kids appreciation and care for the animals through being in close proximity to them. The zoo features several habitats, including African Savanna, Austrailian Adventure, The Primate, Northern Wilderness Trek, Cat and Aquatics, The Rainforest, Asian Highlands, and Waterfowl Lake. Middle school aged kids and older, who are thinking about working with animals in the near future, are offered a chance to shadow a zookeeper for a day.
