Steve’s take
Jack Hanna made this zoo famous and it delivers. The Heart of Africa exhibit lets you feed giraffes from a platform, the aquarium has sharks, and the manatee exhibit is one of only a handful in the country. About twenty minutes off I-71 north of Columbus. If you've got kids under ten and half a day to spare, this is one of the best zoos in the country. The waterpark in summer is a bonus. Your kids will be exhausted by 4pm. Mission accomplished.
