If the delighted squeals and splashes were any indication, the first day of the Toledo Zoo’s Aquarium Adventure Trail was a hit.
The new playground, which opened Friday morning, has wet and dry areas, including 32 spray water features, large animal sculptures, and plenty to climb on.
A 16-foot crab sculpture, painted bright orange and blue and modeled after the patriot crab, towers over revelers. Also featured are sculptures of two humpback whales, two brown pelicans, and a Galapagos tortoise shell.
