Awesome animals! Most of the exhibits had viewing stations when the animals were not in the main area. We went on a week day with rain, it appeared many others made the Trek, but it wasn't busy at all. I don't know that I would try on a free day or a popular weekend, unless you like crowded places (think Walmart on black Friday). I had to keep reminding myself that the entrance fee is more of a forced donation than just an entry price to an attraction. The animals looked well cared for and there was a large enough variety to keep the troop interested and entertained. We were a little disappointed that it closes early in the holiday season for the light show, but were grateful for missing the traffic leaving Houston.
