Last Tuesday Marie and I drove out to Granby, two hours west of here, one hour east of Montreal, to meet up with Phil, Fer, Amy and William at the Granby Zoo. This is one of the biggest zoos in the area with over a 1000 different animals, 75 of which are on the endangered species. Next to the zoo is a wonderful water park (Amazon Iogo) and beside that a typical fairground with rides, bumper cars and everything else you might imagine. We spent the whole day exploring all three attractions and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, Amy most of all, but it was nice also to see Phil and Fer behave like kids again while we looked after her and William. I definitely recommend it to families or couples who want to get away for a day or two and just relax and have fun, the old fashioned way. Bring your own food, snacks and drinks as it can get expensive if you purchase these items in the park, though there are some fast food places just outside the park entrance. Come early to get a good parking spot! gws
