An idea for a parent friendly weekend -
a visit to a mini zoo
The weekend’s here and you want to go someplace that would really spark interest in your children as well as be interesting for you but you’ve run out of ideas? Our family suggests going to an animal park. If you don’t get to visit the biggest Zoo in Latvia which is located in Riga (where, of course, the variety of animals is huge), a good option are mini zoos, where even the youngest children can pet the animals. Furthermore, to help you and your family to reduce the time spent searching for a mini zoo, we have prepared a list of recommendations for animal parks here in Latvia.
