The Roanoke Zoo also has a small, but excellent aviary. Probably not more than 20×20 feet, there’s a variety of birds that are obviously used to humans, calm, and beautiful.

Roanoke’s zoo is small, but excellent. They make excellent use of the space that they have available and focus on animals that don’t take up a huge amount of room. It’s one of the best zoos that I’ve ever visited. I especially liked their red panda display and got what I think are some excellent pictures from it.

One of our visits in Houston was to the Zoo. The zoo is very nice and we arrived mid-afternoon and started in the Aquarium near the entrance. Other parts of the zoo to follow.
