I love our zoo here in NW Portland s forested hills. That being sad, this year was NOT THE YEAR TO BUY A ZOO PASS. We went on a Saturday, and the parking lot was full by noon. We had to park in overflow and take a school bus to and from the zoo. We were saddened to see that the polar bear exhibit was under renovation, the primate area was also under renovation, the hippopotamus area was under renovation, and bathrooms near the stage were closed/replaces with a couple stinky port-a potty s. Aside from all the closed exhibits, we also feel that the Zoo Pass does not provide much savings. The short zoo train ride should be Included, along with the carousel, instead of a super small $.50 cent discount. I think we are going to try and cancel our pass and try again in a few years.
