Como Zoo and Conservatory

We love Minneapolis, but usually venture over to St. Paul for a quick stroll through Como Zoo. It's a free zoo with the most beautiful botanical gardens and helpful, knowledgeable staff. 
Norah liked the fountains at the Conservatory. 

The Sunken Garden at Como is so beautiful and changes out seasonally so there is always a beautiful surprise in bloom. 

The zoo was pretty empty so we spent most of our time in the primate house. Virgil entertained us for quite some time putting his hands on the glass and letting us size up just how big the were compared to ours. One of the staff members introduced us to all of the gorillas, orangutans and spider monkeys so we got an up close and personal experience hearing all about primate live at Como.
