Beeja Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Hello everyone! Since Planckendael Zoo is a zoo and not a real theme park, I'm posting this TR in the Random-section... We (me, my mom and dad) went to this zoo with my little niece and nephew, gotta keep the kids busy during the summer holiday. The kids really love animals (we live on the country side so they're used to see cows, sheep, chickens,...) but now it was time for the real stuff! We had a great day at the park: not too crowded, not too hot (actually a bit cold) and lots of animals had babies so that was really cute to see! The kids also had lots of fun in the playgrounds that are spreaded all over the park. Speaking of which: after a few hours, the kids were more interested in the playgrounds than in the animals... Ah well, I guess that's just the way kids are! Anyhoo, onto the pics! Enjoy! Time to say goodbye! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed! Speed-stroller (I know it's hard to tell but my dad is going full speed and the kids just love that!) Ah, some nice themeing near the exit... Liam seems surprised that he can jump so high! We ended our tour at the biggest playground and there it was time for trampoline fun! Another manipulated species: the glowing pelican! A nice fountain for you fountain enthusiasts! Ah, this looks better! Woah! Stop playing with genetic manipulation, you guys! Dry otter: looking as dead as a rock Wet otters: trying to disguise themselves as some rocks! ^ Super-speed-slide fun! Pull, pull, pull your boat!... (look at my dad's face, he's having a blast!) The suspension bridges were very cool and the kids loved playing "earthquake!" Thank you, thank you very much! I know, I'm good!! Liam is not so keen on the giraffes... Ah, a healthy giraffe! But he looks a bit bummed, he just moved in here from Barcelona or something... I think he's homesick! Beware: wave goodbye when you're speeding towards a crocodile! This box is coming your way, Elissa! Liam playing King Kong And one ice cream for you! (I love it when they play with much imagination) Lunch time! (no need to say that the kids chose this area to eat) Hey goat! Come here so we can play pinata! Only one-legged flamingos are accepted here at Planckendael Here I am with Myra, Liam and some llama-looking fellas I have no idea what kind of animal this is, but it's a nice family portrait Look, auntie B! I'm going to poke him in the eye! Tadaaaa! My head is gone! Hey! You wanna see a trick?! Sleepy koala is all "Huh?! What's going on?" You got a problem with my giant fake brother over there?! My mom and the kids in the belly of a giant fake bird... Step aside, Pink Panther! Now it's my turn to be famous!! Aarr, I be t' captain o' this ship! Endangered species: headbanging birds. Skippy and her lazy baby. What are you looking at, hm?! Liam and Myra in front of some random cows... Hey, bird! You better step back or I'll smack you with my headdress! Aha! Animal poopoo! Oh, and some animals too... My dad with two of his four grandchildren: ready to meet some live animals! Hm, it looks like these giraffes might needs some meds... Some beautiful themeing and landscaping near the entrance. Here's the entrance to the park. In the parking lot we were greeted by Misses Stork. Planckendeal has lots of storks and since they're not locked up, the kids were chasing them the whole day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
