FYI: The Utica Zoo is open all winter. Admission is free right now! With the warmer weather and a lot of the snow melted, this would probably be a good time to go. Of course, a lot of the mammals will be hiding in their holes, but the sea lions might be out! And there are some cool critters in the indoor areas. I'm going to try to get things organized and take the kids, if the weather holds up.
