Review of Jacksonville Zoo Society

I was honestly not impressed with Jacksonville Zoo...

I was honestly not impressed with Jacksonville Zoo, perhaps my expectations were to high. The exhibits and animals there have are alright, but not as many as I expected. I felt like there were as many vendor stands as there were animals, and most of the items were grossly over priced. There's a train you can ride around the zoo with a guide, the ride is fine and gets you from one side to the other, but the inflection of voice and almost sing songy way the guide was speaking were enough to ensure I did not plan on riding again. Staff within the gift shops were friendly, elsewhere, more robotic. I wouldn't say to avoid this zoo, I'd just say not to have high expectations.
