What are YOU looking at?
Well, this giraffe looks a bit bemused, but my family had a wonderful time with the animals on two recent day trips. Virginia Safari Park is an enjoyable 3-mile loop where you drive around and feed the roaming animals (and contend with pushy zebras), while the Richmond Zoo also is quite nice. While the offerings are more modest compared to the Washington Zoo, it's also half the distance. Sometimes you forget what's available around the Charlottesville area, but these are great destinations without the two-and-a-half hour car ride.
