I visited the zoo on a monday so it wasn't packed, I arrived at 1pm and left at 5. We were able to get through all the exhibits except The Lair. The layout of the zoo is a bit tricky because of all the path ways to choose from but the map was helpful. Food and drinks here are expensive so it's best to bring your own snacks. Overall I had a great time but some of the exhibits were closed and many of the animals I was most excited to see where asleep such as the tigers, lions, and the bear. The only thing that ruined my experience was the police officers that work for the zoo. At about 4:25 we went in The Lair exhibit, just to be clear there is no posted closing time at the door, some other exhibits did have an outer sign with their closing time in large font. Anyways, we were looking at the snakes which were behind a glass stacked up and some as low as the floor level so we were crouched down looking at them. Next thing we know a police officer is standing besides us demanding in a loud voice "Get up, Get up and get out", surprised and confused me and my husband responded "I'm sorry what?" and he responded "This place is closed already, I am going to lock the doors on this side so exit from the other door". His attitude was very rude. I guess because he was a police officer he felt there was no reason to be nice to us or at least have good service. A nice "hey, excuse me but it is closing time for this exhibit if you can please make your way out to the other exit would be great". Other than his rude attitude the day went pretty well, I had a great walk through the zoo.
