Boston: Franklin Park Zoo
We adopted a snow leopard from the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, which really just entails paying for the snow leopard's food for the year and getting free passes to the zoo. So, one wintery day, we went to the zoo to try to find our snow leopard. Although we didn't see our snow leopard, we did see some other cool animals, as you can see the highlights below. I'd highly recommend a visit to this zoo!
