cool on a hot day.

Bonus?

- 00:45
…Okay, maybe that wasn't a bonus. [Tiger chases girl in the pool]
- 00:48
There are also dog parks.
- 00:49
These are a great place for dogs to run around and play with each other, without needing
- 00:52
to be kept on leashes.

If you're like, "uh, what on earth is a zoological park…" then you might know them better by
- 01:05
their nickname: zoos. [Gorilla beating chest in a zoo]

a roller coaster…

…but the process does have a very sweet ending.
- 01:43
And you can't put a roller coaster on pancakes. [A rollercoaster on a stack of pancakes]
- 01:45
…Well…maybe you can, but…why would you.
- 01:48
And last but not least, there are community gardens.

keep for themselves…

…or sell to others. [Woman selling local apples]
