Zoos near Barrhead AB (15 Result(s))

Naturally, when bringing to mind the people of the Guzoo, one must first and foremost speak of Mr. Gustafson, affectionately known as 'Mr. Guzoo'. Lynn Gustafson is Guzoo. He dreamed it, he built it and he operates it. He is the personality behind it all. Lynn himself is the number one reason to fall in love with the zoo. Sure, the animals are fun to be around but spending time with Lynn is great fun too. He has a magnetic personality, and a way of making strangers feel like old time friends. However, If you can't take a joke, you probably won't get along with Lynn. When we first met, I had never really learned humor, at least not Lynn's type of humor. His whole family oozes with humor. To put it plainly, they simply are healthy people to be around. Laughter truly is the best medicine.
