But I have to say, even though the zoo was crowded, the spaciousness and layout of the place kept it from getting pushy or claustrophobic. And that's with a lot of kids! Highly recommended for a regular Shabbat or Friday morning/afternoon trip. Passover I'm still not convinced is a good idea though :) I totally agree with you Nikki and we also try to stay far away from the madness of kid vacation time.

I've been a big fan of de Saint Phalle's work ever since we went to Switzerland. Seeing her 'people' floating above in the Zurich train station was a real treat, as was the Jean Tinguely museum.

Thank you for sharing your experience and pictures. Too bad she passed away...what other wonders would she have created still....? The "Noah's Ark" sculpture park at the Biblical Zoo is a collaboration between Niki and the renowned Swiss archivtect Mario Botta, who designed the Ark itself. Also, Niki's second husband was Swiss kinetic sculptor Jean Tinguely. I, too, love her art, especially the monumental colorful mosaic sculptures. Thank you for sharing your experience and pictures.
