The Potawatomi Zoo…it’s the place locals have mixed feelings about. Been around forever, and it’s definitely not some massive, fancy place. But that’s kind of the fun of it, right? It’s like a blast from the past, those old school exhibits, a little worn but full of character.
Don’t get me wrong, the animals are well cared for. They’ve got the lions, the giraffes, the whole safari crew. Perfect for a family outing, the kids will definitely be entertained. Insider tip: go in the spring when the baby animals are out – cuteness overload!
The Potawatomi Zoo has its quirks. Smaller than you’d expect, and sometimes the experience isn’t super polished. But honestly, that can be refreshing in an age of over-the-top attractions. Plus, they throw some surprisingly fun events – check their calendar and you might find yourself sipping craft beers among the monkeys.
