Last week I was at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with my teenage daughter. I was surprised at the number of families with just toddlers and infants. With just a few kiddie rides, it didn't seem to me that there was much for a toddler to do. How young is too young for the amusement park?

I had an idea for a dead animal zoo where the kids could do things like touch the animal corpses and poke them without fear of getting bit or anything like that.

With that type of environment the kids could really get up close and personal with the animals since they won't even need to be in cages or anything.

I wish some rich person would invest in something like that. I know I'd bring my kids.
