Looking for something to do for Spring Break?

If you’re still trying to decide where to vacation this Summer consider going down under for a night at the zoo. Australia’s Canberra Zoo is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that many pay as much as $1,500 for.

Why so much?  Well, cuz it's totally worth it for those who want to spend the night among giraffes, tigers, cheetahs, or Malayan sun bears.  This looks soooooo cool!  I wanna do this.

Guests are able to pick between three animals they’d like to sleep within Canberra’s Jamala Wildlife Lodge, the animals aren’t forced to participate but since the lodges are within the zoo animals are just as curious about their roommates as the guests are about the animals. So they totally do!

Some guests stay between 1 night to a week and the special experience allows visitors to feel like they’re on an African safari.

Just looking at the pictures, it looks really cool!  Especially if you love animals!

This one a woman is drinking coffee on her deck right next to a giraffe!
