Animals Show Off At "EdZOOcation Day"

http://www.gjsentinel.com/opinion/articles/printed_letters_nov_2_2011

Fruita-‘Boo at the Zoo’ was great day for all kidsI would like to thank Dinosaur Journey Museum and the Grand Valley Zoological Center for hosting “Boo at the Zoo” recently. It was one of the best science-based exhibits I have seen in the valley. With a two-year-old, I’m always searching for hands-on educational activities he can enjoy.Many science experiments are designed for older kids, but Boo at the Zoo had a spectrum of tactile games and demonstrations that kids of all ages could enjoy. It was well designed and thoughtfully laid out. There were numerous, very knowledgeable volunteers who enriched the experience.Kudos to everyone who helped make for a wonderful event that my son has been talking about ever since.BECKY RANEY
