I loved bringing my kids to the zoo but I payed 80$ and it didn't include the carousel or other attraction. Sorry I don't have welfare or WIC but that doesn't mean I'm rich. I remember when the zoo was really cheap and they had free days. My boys both have disabilities and i still had to pay full price. My 5 yr old went for the first time to go see the animals. He learned so much about animals the whole money gouging didn't anger me as much. Like i said I'm not Ritch and i was not prepared to pay this much at all. I'm glad I took food and drinks because the food is so pricey as well. I love the zoo but it's changed money. Sad
