Brookfield Zoo: a great day for this pack of primates
by driftless
Pros: Great primate house.   Scores of species.  Myriad Mold-A-Rama options.
Cons: Mediocre food.  Uninspiring gift shop. 
A trip to the zoo might be the ideal family activity, at least for my family.     ; Enough variety and intellectual stimulation for the adults, a slow enough pace for the pre-teen and most crucially, the teenager is a zookeeper wanna...

Standard Transparent Backpack
Crystal-Clear Backpacks…Because You Never Know What Eight Year Olds Are Trying To Smuggle Into School
by Freak369
Pros: Two zipper compartments, sturdy stitching, padded shoulder straps.
Cons: See-through design means absolutely no privacy.
Yeah, that product title is laced with just a hint of sarcasm … Clear backpacks aren't new concept or product, they've been around for years but aren't the most discrete of things to carry around with you. I don't ...

Pros: Outdoor Lovers Paradise, Great People, Entertainment

West Virginia has had its share of inequities, from being associated with some of the best geographical jokes in the U.S., to being considered a place of rife poverty and inbreeding. While it is one of the poorest states in the country, due to its lack ...

Death Valley National Park
Alien and Amazing

Pros: Stunning natural scenery; fascinating and unique; excellent day trip
Cons: Hot, dry, and remote...but would you really go to Death Valley expecting otherwise?
Visiting Death Valley in November--especially when you're from Minnesota--is almost like being on another planet. The landscape could be a moon in some undiscovered solar system. And (when you're from Minnesota) the warmth is as welcome as a gulp of ...

Camelback

Pros: Great place to go in the middle of the week. Decent terrain park features.
Cons: crowded, narrow trails, short runs, too many flats, lack of trails for advanced riders.
OK, don't get me wrong, Camelback is a decent mountain. I've had a season pass there and go there a lot, and will go there a bunch more in the future. However, I feel like that any other mountains in the Poconos or Catskills are comparable and you ...

Cons: Parking, if not part of a package.
This is the first time my wife and I have visited New Orleans post Hurricane Katrina.  So heading back to New Orleans brought a sense of wonder as to how the city has faired as compared to what is spoon fed to you in the news.  We had ...

Cons: Too expensive for what you get. Not good for preschool age.
Legoland Discovery Center was such a major disappointment that it almost ruined our whole day.  We thought our 3 1/2 yr old son and 2 1/2 yr old nephew would enjoy the experience, but we were very wrong.  First, the online "interactive" ...
