• Reminiscing about Fairytale Town, which opened in August 1959, with its iconic attractions like Humpty Dumpty's wall, the rabbit hole slide, and pink popcorn
• Sharing memories of the Sacramento Zoo and its memorable exhibits, from the reptile house to the mischievous monkeys
• Reflecting on the zoo's planned move to Elk Grove and how these attractions have always felt connected
• Telling the hilarious story of my first crush at age 12 and how it ended disastrously on the spinning teacup ride at Thunderland
