The zoo was one of our favourite outing spots when we were kids. We kids and our mothers used to frequent the zoo and museum during holidays and spend a couple of hours there gaping at the monkeys, looking through the tiger's cage, watching the hippo and rhino in wonder, taking a walk through the snake park and later, just sitting under the shade one of the numerous trees and eating snacks. We grew up, we had our own set of friends and places to chill out and the zoo got forgotten.  In fact, I don't remember the last time I visited the zoo. Since then, the zoo underwent several modifications and changes and I kept hearing about how beautiful the place is now. Now, with a kid of my own who loves animals and recognises most of them, I am again rediscovering my favourite childhood spots in Trivandrum.

 

So off we went to the zoo along with my friend, her mom and her two boys. The three boys had a lovely day together. We opted for the battery operated guide car (i missed taking its photo) to take us around instead of walking the entire zoo. The half an hour we waited for the car, the boys started getting bored. They poked each other, fought, made up and to entertain them, we took photos.
