Honolulu Zoo....more than just animals!

I'm always looking for something new and interesting to do, and found an activity worth noting. The Honolulu Zoo, as most residents know, offers enrichment classes and family activities at an additional cost and at different times throughout the year. Tonight we took part in the Stargazing at the Zoo activity- which was worth every penny. The night included a guided evening tour of the zoo, snacks and drinks, a star lab activity, and some time to view the night sky with really great telescopes. The event was hosted by zoo staff and a few UH Manoa graduate astronomy students. This event reignited my desire to find and purchase new lenses for my telescope, which I used to use on a regular basis. So that is what I am off to do, and I am armed with some new information and tips provided by the staff at tonight's event. I highly recommend the zoo enrichment programs.
