I visited the zoo yesterday and was so looking forward to my first visit there. That excitement was immediately crushed when I saw the crowds of humanity that descended upon the zoo on a Wednesday. I should have done my research to see that Wednesday is free day! I paid for the Total Experience pass however you waste most of your day waiting in lines to enter these carnival like venues and realize "what a waste of money" after your purchase! First of all no employees are managing the lines for these attractions and lazy, ignorant and rude people are cutting the line to cut their wait time down. I decided to speak up to one "family" who acted like the could not speak english, and I thought I was was going to get "jumped"! The woman in the group approached me and started to speak..in english..which blew their cover, and told me to mind my my business..I told her to walk the mile to the back of the line like I had to do! The gentleman in front of me then got a park employee to intervene because he had been line jumped too! The line jumping occurred in the ladies rooms too! The food also is completely overpriced..it was $12.99 for burger , handful of fries and drink! Bring your own food and drinks! I think people had alcohol there as well..there appeared to be many loud and intoxicated individuals who acted more like animals than the animals did! On the brighter side..the attraction and exhibits that were open, were nice if you could break through the crowd to see them. I think people believe just because they have a child it means that they can shove that child in front of you so that their kid can see. Guess what we paid the same amount to get in today..oh that's right we paid nothing..so we're even..wait your turn like the rest of us! Not sure if I would go back , but if I did I would probably pay to go on a non-free day and that might cut out some of the classless behaviour that I saw there yesterday!
