Paddington Bear Comes To The #LAZoo and to DVD #PaddingtonMovie

We had a great time this weekend visiting the Los Angeles Zoo. We ran into an old friend, Paddington Bear. Paddington is quite the world traveler, so it’s fitting that he was at the Zoo! He was greeting guests, waving, hugging and taking pictures with his fans. We stopped in and had a marmalade sandwich, made our own red hat, and took a family photo with the bear. Check out our adventure below!

Paddington is available now to download in Digital HD and comes 
to Blu-ray™ and DVD on April 28, 2015.

5 Fresh Things to See and Do at the LA Zoo

1. Baby Animals - We were lucky to take a "Meet Our Babies" tour while visiting the Zoo. There are so many baby animals to see right now! CUTE OVERLOAD! You can see a baby giraffe, hippo, chimpanzee, kangaroo, howler monkey, giant river otter pup, and the koala. These species have all welcomed new additions to their families recently which is great news! It's all part of a program to save endangered and vulnerable species with breeding programs. Right now you even have a chance to name one of these precious babies. Now through April 26the check out the #NameOurRoo Contest for a chance to win a GoPro.

2. Rainforest of the Americas - Make your way through the rainforest, from top to bottom as you walk through the Zoo's newest exhibit. It was our first time walking through Rainforest of the Americas where we saw animals of the tropical sort. From toucans to pirahnas to giant river otters a wild time was had by all!

3. Carousel - Take a ride on the carousel! Become a kid again and choose your favorite animal to hop on. Round and round, up and down get video and photos of your children on this beautiful carousel with all types of animals. It's the perfect attraction for the Zoo, just takes one token and the smiles it produces are priceless!

4. The LAIR (Living Amphibians, Invertebrates, and Reptiles) - See over 60 species of amphibians, invertebrates, and reptiles at the coolest place to chill inside the Zoo. From snakes to lizards to swimming turtles it's a great indoor place to hang when the Zoo temps rise, especially during the hot summer months.

5. Condor Rescue Zone - One of the favorite places that my daughter likes to visit when we come to the Zoo is the Condor Rescue Zone. It's the very first stop you come to on your right next to the entrance, you may even miss it if you aren't looking for it. There's a place for little ones to run around and play, but even more awesome is a pretend vet set-up where you can preform an "operation" on an endangered condor. It's a great place for the animal lovers to really get a hands-on experience.

Disclosure: I received media passes for my family to attend this event as guests. How BEARY nice! The opinions on this blog are 100% Fresh and 100% my own.
