I was disappointed that during this COVID19 pandemic that the majority of the zoo was closed. We paid regular admission to find the entire inside was shut down. No monkey exhibits, no walk through the the bird enclosure, no lions, nothing. Then we walk outside. The barn was shut down, half of the animals were in a far distance barley visible and the other half had empty enclosures. I was disgraced by the amount of hand sanitizers that were empty. Additionally, I felt horrible for the owls and larger birds were strapped down to a small rope so they couldn't fly away in an open area as opposed to putting them in an enclosed area where they could roam free. The baby elephant was literally the only thing that made me smile. You would also think that with this pandemic going on they would have more than enough time to maintain their grounds, but no. The construction and debris made it seem like we were paying for a nature walk at Beaver Lake than actually visiting a zoo. We were in and out in less than 45 min. I knew I should have gone to the Wild. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience for our family.
