Was very disappointed, had not been to the Zoo since last year. We love to go to see The Elephants but love all we can see. It was so sad to see the lion entrapment that those 2 poor Lions had to live in day in, day out. When the male died, no one heard where the female went, We truly pray if they get more Lions, they destroy what is there and give them as much land to run & mate as they too are becoming extinct. The bird 'room' was sad, not alot of birds, dirty, stinky. The bear enclosure again just a rock enclosure, not much room for them to do anything but climb up it and lay there. We headed over, excited to see the Elephants, again the new 'exhibit' was dirty, trying to look in the windows was hard. They were for some reason making all the Elephants go back inside so we only seen one. We specifically came too, to see the elephant babies, nope. I was so upset. So we walked around a bit, this really got me upset when we seen a small carousel which cost money & a blow up big octopus little kids could slide down, again more money. A zoo is a zoo to learn about the Animals, not have kiddie rides that are meant for a Fair. We wanted to see the Octopus, he or she was squished in this rock so you could just see it's leg, we came back after all the walking around we stopped back, same, it could of been dead as it had not moved at all. We loved our Zoo, now, not so much and doubt we will be back. We wanted to also eat but remembered the 'Jungle Cafe' from last year, if the Zoo put in a real food court, good food- we would not find spending $ but to get yuck food, treated rudely & the employees not caring if anything was wiped down-
It is not a Zoo.
