Naples Zoo is a nice little zoo with a decent selection of animals. It was much smaller than I anticipated, with a few long stretches between animals. I'd suggest getting to the boat excursion earlier in the morning. Either the 9:20 or 9:50 boat is least crowded with less wait time. There is lots of construction of new exhibits coming over the next few years including orangutans, tapir, capybara, and more South American species, plus a new family zoo and zoo entrance. Looking forward to coming back when it's all finished.

I've been ordering for pickup the last few years and I think they are one of the best breweries in the western suburbs. They have a great selection of IPAs and very nice stouts. The bat area is nice and they have a few games available to play too.
