Not a terrible place. We saw the "camel ride" as a unique opportunity for a little adventure. There wasn't anyone around, and barely anyone at the zoo that day. So we bought three tickets, one for each of our kids for $5.50 each, thinking it would provide 10-15 minutes of entertainment. The handlers proceeded to put all three kids on the same camel, walk them in a circle for no more than 60 seconds (50 feet or less, total distance) and then had the kids dismount. This is much less than we expected, and the kids were understandably unhappy after they were told to get off. Not a good experience. I understand the zoo needs to make money. So if you're going to charge $5.50 for a ride, provide some sort of value.
