Alameda Park Zoo

Well, my kids' chances for some semblance of an exciting summer were looking bleak in the beginning since all our time and efforts were focused on the move for the first month or so; but whatever time was lost planning, packing and cleaning has been made up for and then some since we settled into Alamogordo. We have been endlessly entertained exploring our new surroundings and we've absolutely fallen in love with this place. The Alameda Park Zoo is one of its charming features. It's too small to make us too tired, it's never crowded, and the animals come so close you can almost touch them. My kids' favorite is the "giant guinea pig," but we also love the bears and the lemurs.
