We went there today and the staff was great. However, I was less than impressed with the bird building. Especially the super small and artificial lighted Pinguin and duck rooms . These animals need natural lighting and not be locked inside with a sky looking painted ceiling. One of the ducks was swimming rapidly back and forth in the tub of water in that room. They looked distressed. I really hope they will do something more appropriate for these poor animals. We also observed an arctic fox which was totally distressed running along a small side of a fence trying to get out...I watched him for 20 minutes and all he did was run back and forth and just try to climb the fence at each end. It was heartbreaking to see. The animal looked totally distressed! It s a nice park but again, some of the habitats need a more appropriate overhaul. This is about the animals!!!
