ACCESSIBLE OHIO -- PART 2



THE CINCINNATI ZOO AND BOTANICAL GARDEN


From elephants to apes, every display at the Cincinnati Zoo, located at 3400 Vine St., is barrier-free. 

Of special note is the Jungle Trails rain forest, a popular draw at a zoo already known for its lush botanical gardens, white Bengal tigers and top animal birthrate in the nation, earning the nickname of the “world's sexiest zoo.”

Though the rain forest is built on a slope, its gentle grade is easily negotiable by wheelchair.

Even the trail’s realistic surface, covered in spots with leaves and twigs, is doable.

This extraordinary display is worth lingering over, especially for the playful gibbons, frolicking orangutans and odd-looking lemurs.
