FISHSHROD-The room in the first photo (the sunken garden) definitely smells really good. The other areas don't have as many flowers (i.e. the fern room) so they don't have such a strong smell.
countryboy-I thought I had heard that one of the flamingos gave birth recently (at the como zoo), but I didn't see any babies when I was there so I'm not sure. The flamingo and duck exhibit is actually one of my favorites, just because it's funny to see them all interact. I've actually been to the Great Lakes Aquarium, it was pretty neat.. though my favorite part was the limited time seahorse exhibit, not sure if it's still there or not. But they had dwarf seahorses and those guys were cuuuuuuute!
