Gage Park & Zoo - Topeka, Kansas

We drove over to Gage Park and visited the zoo. We saw the normal animals: elephants, lions, giraffes, but there were a couple of animals with some strange habits. We saw an orangutan that liked to chew and "pop" gum and a bear that spent a lot of time in trees stripping off the bark and leaves.
After the zoo, we went out for a late lunch, then returned and rode the train and carousel. I can remember riding them when I would visit my grandparents here in the 60's. As you can see from the bottom photo, I started "real young".
