I must say that I was disappointed with my visit. Although the staff that we met at the Entrance to the park were pleasant, and accomodated our lame "sure is hot" - "sure was a long ride" (duh) tourist's humor with good cheer and without rolling their eyes(!), their fellow troopers, the poor staff manning the outlying refreshment kiosks, looked as though they had been left behind and forgotten in the desert, LOL. We even offered to buy one of them anything they wanted from what he had offered *us* ...

Lastly, the place was dirty and in disrepair, especially so in some of the EXHIBITS (which paid to have signs made apologizing for the mess rather than pay to *clean it up*!) ... which was disheartening and a bummer.

The animals looked well cared for though! Oh, and another positive, the Zoofari Cafe was igloo cool (yes!), clean (in fact, being tended to), and the food was good! So, pretty much a big cheer and thanks to the troops and a "get your butts back to the war" for the generals.
