Brights Zoo, Limestone

Brights Zoo is a zoo with a mission, and it's not just to let people get a glimpse at the animals—although that's quite a perk. The zoo helps expand the population of species that are rare or endangered, through both education and propagation alike. It's a worthwhile endeavor that they've succeeded at, with several different protected species getting the chance to breed.

Of course, there are reasons to visit a zoo beyond doing good. Strolling from exhibit to exhibit, visitors to Bright Zoo can peer at a red kangaroo, a waterbuck, a giraffe, zebra, and other majestic, cute, and majestically cute beasts. Patrons can also get even closer to the critters with feeding sessions—with an extra ticket, you can offer carrots or lettuce to lorikeets, giraffes, bongos, and camels.
