Went to the zoo in 9/2019 for the first time in a few years. Extremely pricey now, food wise and ticket wise. Many exhibits are entirely too small for the animals living in them. Noticed several exhibits where the animals had no access to water (water bowls empty). One of the Fishing cats didn't even have any water in the exhibit to play or swim in. Fish tanks were so dirty you could not see in them. The pond where the turtles are by the otters was so disgusting and overgrown by lily pads you couldn't really view the turtles. One of the exhibits by the zebras was so overgrown I was shocked to see they actually had animals living in there. Disappointed that the zoo has gone so far downhill. Will not be coming back. Truly sad for some of the animals living there. I understand a zoo is designed to have animals in captivity for public viewing but some of the conditions just don't seem appropriate and able to provide a decent quality of life for the animals.
