Whenever we took the kids to the zoo the other day, the polar bear exhibit got closed down and so my kids were pretty sad about that. The polar bears are their favorite part of going to the zoo. They always want to go and visit them first, but I always want to wait since that part of the zoo is way up at the very top and you have to walk really far to get up to it. I like to save it for last, but they are always trying to get me to go there as soon as we arrive at the zoo. I know that the kids will be good the whole time that we are there if they know that we can’t go to see the polar bears until the end of the day. On this trip, though, that whole plan kind of backfired on me a little bit because they weren’t going to be opening up the polar bear exhibit at all. They said that the reason that they were closing up the polar bear part of the zoo was because the air conditioning system in their exhibit was broken. I guess the air conditioning breaks down from time to time and whenever that happens, they have to close up the exhibit because they have to move the polar bears to another place. These types of animals that are from cold climates have to stay cold and their indoor air quality has to be just right or it can be harmful for them. I’m glad that they were able to fix the cooling system for the bears.
