It's a zoo. Seemed more fun when I was a kid.
Made the mistake of going on a Wednesday when school was out and it was beyond packed. A lot of exhibits were closed or hard to get to.
Make sure you bring your own beverages and snacks. Find somewhere else to have a meal, unless you're a wealthy person. Sure, admission was free, but almost $4.50 for a bottle of soda was disgustingly overpriced - and that's the cheapest thing you're able to buy. I would have got the cup to go get refills, but most of the stands in the zoo are closed this time of year, but they neglect to tell you that part. And for what you wpuld pay on a normal day, they are insanely rude to be charging that much for what they serve you.
