Walking through a zoo, watching the animals interact with each other, and with guests, reading about habitats, and experiencing an animal you've never even heard of before is a magical experience. I just got back from taking my daughter to a zoo 3 hours away from our house because she'd heard about okapis and wanted to see one. A documentary got her interested in the animal but the zoo let her learn a lot more.
