This was an over all great day spent at the zoo even though i had a couple of issues. It was the second time to bring my son but his first time he couldn't walk yet so this time he was able to enjoy walking around and even played hard at the splash pad. The splash pad is excellent for the children to cool off from the heat and they have it set up nicely. This brings me to the first issue though. I had taken my sons shirt of to put his bathing suit shirt on and he had already darted for the water. I didn't see any signs saying no shoe past the red on the ground and i went after him to put his shirt on. One young lady was kind of rude telling me no shoes allowed on the red. That's fine, i backed off and my wife took her sandals off and went after him. The young lady continued to rudely tell other men the same as she had told me. If there were signs saying this rule it was not easily seen i guess. Then another young lady that worked there was also being kind of rude to the children playing, yelling at them to get off the dragon in the middle of the splash pad. I know they have to sit there and make sure rules are kept but they could be a little nicer about it when they say something and not act like it's a hassle to do their job. The other issue i had was when i purchased our tickets, i got my wive and I the value pass, which said on the screen that it was all day access to the big bugs part and a carousel ride for each ticket. My son was free because he is under two years old, so the lady said we didn't need any ticket for him. After we got done with the splash pad we made our way to the carousel. Got to the line, gave the woman the ticket for my wife to ride with my son, only to be told that ticket wasn't for the carousel. I told her I had purchased the value pass which said the ride was included. She again said it didn't say carousel on the ticket. I think she was just trying to get us to buy a ticket for $3. I told her that was ridiculous that I paid the extra for the value pass and now she wants me to pay extra for something that was included. We went about the rest of our day enjoying walking around the rest of the zoo anyway and still had a great time.
