I was in a van with handicap plates. I was told that I had to park in the garage in the front. So I had to push my wife in her chair all the way to the front gate. My mother had to push my father in his chair as well. She is 69. So not an easy task. We past many parking spots that were open and people getting out of thier cars that were not handicapped. Once inside we could only go to 2 exhibits. All the trails lead to steep inclines which lead to even steeper inclines. It was impossible for my mother to push my father so they waited with the prarie dogs. I finally was unable to get my wife up the hills. She had to wait at the cafe while me and my daughter went to other exhibits. This was my daughters first zoo and my wife had to miss out. I even saw mechanical wheelchairs that couldnt make it up the hills. So, if you have people in wheel chairs. DO NOT GO.
