3 Mile Island Zoo

This weekend the Family and myself went to the Children's Fun Fair at the Harrisburg Farm Show Complex or as I like to call it "The 3 Mile Island Zoo". They boasted about having 150 or so animals.

Well let me run down some of the animals they had and their appearance;

When you first walked in you see a goat and some kids(baby goats not children), they were normal enough looking. Next we see some llamas, from far away they looked fine, but upon closer look the one had 2 buck teeth growing from the bottom lip. Not really that disturbing but it looked like bugs bunny crossed with a llama. Then came the Water Buffalo, now when I think of Water Buffalo I think of big animals, big enough to move boulders. Well these Water Buffalo couldn't move a pebble. They were about 3 feet tall and probably weighed all of 100 lbs. Then we came upon a Zebu, my wife thought Dr. Suess made these animals up, but apparently they are real. After the zebu came an alligator, all 2 feet of it. My chameleon I won at the York fair when I was little looked more ferocious. Then came the monkeys. they were actually what you would expect a monkey to look like. And they also had Lemurs next to the monkeys, again looked like what you would expect them to look like. Next came the piece de resistance, "The World Famous Uni-Cow".....That's right a Uni-Cow. It's a huge cow with one big horn growing out of the center of it's head. I tried to look at it, but it just freaked me out. And right next to the Uni-Cow was the Shaggy Donkey. The Shaggy Donkey is a 6ft. tall donkey with really long hair, another freaky looking animal. You couldn't see this donkey's eyes or anything. That pretty much sums up the first room.

The second room was a little better. The animals here looked like regular animals or at least what you would expect. On this side they had a kangaroo, more llamas, a camel, a pony, miniature horses, macall bird, grey parrot, elephants, chickens, pigs, osterich, some deer, and a big snake. There may have been a couple of animals I forgot about, but you should get the picture from the animals I mentioned.

Mackenzie had tons of fun. They had some rides to go along with the animals. And they had some animal rides. Mackenzie went on an elephant ride and a pony ride. The elephant was huge, however, Mackenzie didn't want her mommy to go so she went with some other family. They didn't seem to mind except they had a relative take pictures of them on the elephant and I wonder how they would explain Mack in the middle of the picture because she didn't sit in the front or in the back of the family. She sat right between the adult male and adult female with the other child sitting in the front. Should make for some interesting pictures. However, Mackenzie's favorite ride was the pony ride. She loved the pony ride. So that was our experience at the "3 Mile Island Zoo".
