If you were a 9 year old boy, would you think going to the zoo was fun or lame?

Posted by kelly Apr 25 '11, 07:45

We are spending saturday with wills nephew and I'm trying to think of fun things to do that he might not get to do often.

Responses:

depends on if seeing animals in cages would bother him, if its more natural habitat then fun -- nm - ceregon Apr 25, 08:07 4
- I can't look at lions in cages anymore without getting depressed after seeing the ones in the MGM Grand. - Reagen Apr 25, 08:14 3
  - (and I feel the same about gorilla enclosures) - Reagen Apr 25, 08:33
  - Well, after Groiny got behind the cub for a photo...the entire clan has felt shame and worthlessness. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:15 1
    - so soft and cuddly. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 08:19
Fun but not the end all be all. -- nm - David Apr 25, 08:00
I would expect a 9 year old would like the zoo. -- nm - ty97 Apr 25, 07:58
fun -- nm - decline Apr 25, 07:57
Depends on if I hang him upside down over the polar bear enclosure. - Will Hunting Apr 25, 07:54 6
- Would you be up for dc? - kelly Apr 25, 08:11 5
  - Sure. It'd be different. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:13 4
    - Added bonus: lots of walking! - kelly Apr 25, 08:19 3
      - Yeah, we might need to check to see if he's up for a full-day. - Will Hunting Apr 25, 08:22 1
        
        Yeah, um, hes not the one I expect the whining from. - kelly Apr 25, 08:27
      - *eats a hippo* nm -- nm - Will Humping Apr 25, 08:21
If he gets bored, tell him that the poisonous snake is still loose and to keep an eye out for him. - TFox Apr 25, 07:52 9
- (that was in NY) -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 07:53 8
  - #wetblanket #whooshsarcasm --- Yeah, we got that :) -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 25, 07:55 6
    - its depressing that i post it, and then think "how long until loosi lets me know that... *refresh* theeeeeere it is." -- nm - TFox Apr 25, 07:56 4
      - you can -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 07:57 3
        
        't teach an old dog..... nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 07:57 2
        
        tune in next week, for another episode of "If Hermoine Was Sorted Into Slytherin"... -- nm - TFox Apr 25, 07:58 1
        
        I'd like to slytherin to Hermoine. - groiny Apr 25, 07:59
    - it is a good thing we have her here to keep us informed. n,m -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 07:55
  - holyshitnoway. -- nm - TFox Apr 25, 07:53
Zoo's still good at age 9. -- nm - Jim Apr 25, 07:49
my daughter is 9 and still loves the zoo. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 25, 07:47
Fun. - con_carne Apr 25, 07:47
My first thought would be air and space museum (maybe the big one near Dulles). -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 07:46 7
- While fun, I don't recommend it for a day trip. Kids can get bored quick there and with no other museums around what do you do? -- nm - MDH Apr 25, 07:49 6
  - I'd imagine there has to be a dinosaur exhibit somewhere in that city. -- nm - kelly Apr 25, 08:25
  - then you go somewhere else! All I know is, it's popular with most of the parents I know. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 07:50 4
    - plus the zoo has the same problem. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 07:51 3
      - The zoo is 3 metro stops (5 minutes) from the National Mall... and near the Cathedral. -- nm - MDH Apr 25, 07:52 2
        
        that close to the Mall? I always think it's much further for some reason. -- nm - loosilu Apr 25, 07:53 1
        
        Woodly (Zoo) -> Dupont -> Farragut -> Metro Center (One of the mall stops) -- nm - MDH Apr 25, 07:57
Buy him stuff and he'll think it's cool. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 25, 07:46 2
- Any place is cool if you get a slushie out of it :) -- nm - oblique Apr 25, 07:47 1
  - exactly. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 25, 07:54
I loved going to the zoo when I was that age. -- nm - znufrii Apr 25, 07:46 1
- I especially loved the Birds of Prey show... -- nm - znufrii Apr 25, 07:47
