Old petting zoo yields to Animal Discovery
What a shame that the News & Record again chose to shed a negative light on a positive project in Greensboro. I refer to "Petting zoo closure saddens regulars" (June 28), concerning the recent closure of the petting zoo at the Natural Science Center.
Yes, the NSC has closed the outdated petting zoo to make way for state-of-the-art Animal Discovery; but why quote patrons not renewing memberships?
Why state that people were disappointed that the old is making way for the new? As an avid visitor to the Natural Science Center, I felt saddened as I read this pessimistic article which could have told much more about how people are excited about what is about to happen.
Not only is the outside zoo area to be transformed, but the inside of the museum is in for a major overhaul as well. Don’t give up on the NSC. It has been, and continues to be a wonderful landmark for Greensboro. After its multimillion-dollar renovation, it will be a true destination place in North Carolina.
Please continue to visit and show your support for this fine institution as it undergoes positive changes.

Don't kids get REALLY sick from visiting petting zoos? Or did I just imagine that?

What was sick was the smell of Pine-Sol and buttholes at that place. Did they ever change the mop water?
