This cache has been archived.

Kosh Naranek: As there's been no further action to the issues posted, I'm archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. It's simply too long a time to be "temporarily disabled". If you wish to replace this cache sometime in the future, you can either created a new cache page, or just email us with the GCXXX, and assuming it still meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to un-archive it.

Geocache Description:

The much requested cache in the Kid's series is finally here! You asked for it and we had it in mind already, so today we went by there, spoke to the owners and got the permission needed for the hide. Near one of Gutterball's FAVORITE spots in town: Zoomars Petting Zoo! (Formerly the Jones Family Mini-Farm)

About the Place:

In January 2005, Omar and Carolyn Gonzalez purchased the Jones Family Mini-Farm, saving an area landmark and adding colorful parrots from their chain of exotic bird stores. Renaming it ZOOMARS, the couple continues to expand this adorable petting zoo, geared toward little ones between the ages of 2 and 10. The bird park is suited for visitors of all ages where they get a rare glimpse of some of the world’s most beautiful and endangered species... (Info taken from their website, for more please visit: (visit link) )

About the Hide:

If you've found our Kid Series #2: Stickers! We should tell you that you are looking for the exact same type of container, except a little bit bigger; or if you've found Kid Series #3: Color My World! then you're looking for the same size container.

The container was filled with random sized plastic farm animals. We don't want to get too picky about it so if you could bring any type of animal something to drop or trade at the cache site it will do. Plastic animals, or animal crayons, stickers, we leave it up to you, just make it an animal hehe to keep with the theme.

We're hoping the kids learn something about some of the animals, what they do, say, eat or how they behave, move or react to how we treat them.

As with the two previous caches in the series, the rules for the First to Find Prizes remain the same:

ADULTS: We humbly request that you leave the FTF, STF, and TTF Items for the First, Second and Third CHILD that finds the cache!

We are hoping to encourage families to hunt for the kid series together, so we've placed a "First to Find" dinosaur, a "Second to Find" smiley face, and a "Third to Find" bug for the first three children to reach the cache.

If you are a grown up who has the FTF Claim, but don't have any children with you, go ahead and claim FTF, just leave the FTF Prize for the first CHILD to reach the cache.

SPECIAL NOTE!!!!!

We have added a FTF Admission Ticket to Zoomars! So sorry we couldn't leave more tickets, but figured we can at least make the FTF Child happy! Congratulations to whoever gets there first! ^_^ So: FTF Kid gets Zoomars ticket AND FTF Dinosaur.
