Como Park, Zoo and Conservatory

Como Park is smaller than the Minnesota Zoo, but it's set in a lovely park with a historic merry-go-round (see Cafesjian's Carousel), a garden and greenhouse, a lake with paddleboat rentals and an old-time pavilion. Como Park is a great place to visit and have a picnic, see things and play, so head over on the next nice day! The Como Zoo features dozens of animals, including popular new additions like Jenga the baby giraffe, Dash the zebra, a baby monkey, and twin tamarinds; all born at the zoo since Fall 2006! Como Park also regularly stages events for kids (such as Go Diego and Radio Disney) as well as for adults (botanical shows).
