Happy Hollow Zoo & Park

When we were in Disneyland a lady in line had told me about the zoo in San Jose, Happy Hollow Zoo. We decided we would visit since we were camping close by.

What a fun place. They had animals, as you can see a petting zoo, fun rides, and a three story place structure. WOW - 5 hours was almost not enough time there.

Garrett and Gannon loved the goats, but Gannon spotted a water fountain at the entrance of the petting area and was pretty much stuck there for the entire time we were visiting the goats. These boys are for sure mine, they love rides! Gannon loves to sit with his brother and just check everything out as a passenger and Garrett steers or moves whatever he can on the ride.

I would have to say the favorite part of the park for the kids was the huge play structure area. There were lots of slides, two from the third floor, two smaller, and a toddler section. Dave took Garrett up to the big slide and I took Gannon on the little ones. Garrett was having such a blast going down the huge slide so I thought I would take Gannon and let him ride on my lap. Don't even think about taking him back to the toddler slide after that, it's not daring enough for him. As soon as we would get to the top to wait in line for our turn he was trying to lung out of my arms and go allow. Sorry little dude, you have to wait your turn and you're way to little to go alone. He was a little upset when we had to leave. Determined little sucker.
