I will admit when we first got there I was a little upset. We wanted to do the 1 on 1 time with the tiger cub and the next available opening wasnt for another 4 hours. We paid what seemed to be a lot of money for the tour, which I had no clue what to expect from and then was faced with paying for photos that I had no clue theyd even get good shots of us.

I will say the lady who gives the tour is amazing and in my opinion invaluable to the zoo as a whole. She is what made me change my mind from this place is money grabbing to this is completely worth every dollar we spent. The tour was perfect. They make sure everyone gets a photo with the animals and you get to see parts of the Zoo you would otherwise not be allowed to see.

Im on the fence about how I feel for these animals in small cages but the alternative could very likely be death and they are supposed to be moving to a new place closer to Dallas.

I have one recommendation. The CDs for the pictures are an outdated process. Your zoo could easily create a dropbox or gmail/google drive account... create a folder to upload all the images in and share it out to the email accounts of people who paid for pictures. This would ensure people who didnt pay dont get their photos. The CD process is nice but took too long. Make it easier on yourselves and digitally share these to people. You could even charge $5 for people who request a CD. Then once a month clean out older photos from your account.

Overall a great experience I would visit again.
