Yakulla Caverns @ The Phx Zoo

I know that talking about work really isn't the norm... but I just HAD to share this! Today was the preview of the new outdoor water play area at the Phoenix Zoo. It's called Yakulla (pronounced: Ya-Cool-Ya - from the Incan language meaning "Water Place") Caverns.


If you have children (regular or grand) around 5-12, you've GOT to bring them to the zoo. As you'll see by the videos after the jump that this is going to quickly become the busiest places at the zoo!



In fact, I'm trying to talk them into having a staff only day!!!
Enjoy the videos!

Here's a fun walk-through of the caverns


Why didn't they have stuff like this when WE were kids!?
