Learn about the different forms of money from as far back as 4 500 years ago and discover how people back then used commodities such as seashells, beads, animals and even salt (!) to pay for services rendered.
Zoo Lake

Zoo Lake, which is one of the oldest parks in town, is a popular meeting place for friends and family to enjoy outdoor lunches and drinks. The vibe is great!
