From December 26, 2025 to January 1, 2026, I’m taking a winter trip from Forestville, NY to Ohio to visit the Toledo Zoo, Greater Cleveland Aquarium, and Akron Zoo. The highlight of the whole week is my Octopus Encounter at the Toledo Zoo on December 27 at 2:30 PM. After Toledo, I’m heading to Cleveland to explore the aquarium’s reefs, sharks, and touch tanks, and then I’ll finish the trip at the Akron Zoo with its big cats and primates. It’s going to be a full week of animals, aquariums, zoos, and winter adventure.
