Bioparc Valencia: 'The Coolest Zoo' You'll Ever Visit?

April 23, 2008 at 4:30 PM | 0 Comments

Valencia, the third largest city in Spain, has just opened the first phase of a $94 million, state-of-the-art zoo called Bioparc Valencia.

The zoo spans 25 acres and is home to 4,000 animals from 250 species including the old zoo favorites and stand-bys: antelope, zebras, gorillas and leopards.

Yet it's not your grandparents zoo where you walk around and point at animals in cages. The Bioparc reproduces the vegetation, terrain and sounds of the animals' ecosystem while hiding all the man-made stuff like barriers so you can feel a little less guilty about observing animals taken from their natural habitats.

Nicole Richie's Magic Mountain Adventure

May 10, 2006 at 9:05 AM | 0 Comments

The other girl from The Simple Life took a spin on one of the nation's most popular theme parks, Six Flags Magic Mountain, this past weekend. Nicole Richie spent the day at the park hanging out with friends and riding the coasters, just like everyone else. Did they have any trouble strapping her in? Isn't there a minimum weight requirement?

Here's the thrillseeker caught in a photo on the coaster. We bet the Magic Mountain ride is as least as much fun as, say, heroin. How exactly did those wacked out Willy Wonka sunglasses stay on the whole ride? Once Paris Hilton stops being your friend, it sure opens up a wide range of activities.
