Such a great day for my 10 year old daughter and myself! The only downside was the parking, the lots seemed way too small for the area and as we came on a Saturday we drove around for a good half an hour before snagging a lucky spot on the street as someone pulled out. Otherwise the zoo was fabulous, well laid out and easy to find the different habitats. Food is WAY over priced, for example $2 for a couple tablespoons of cheese to dip a pretzel in on top of the cost of the pretzel is a little ridiculous when you can buy a 24oz jar of the stuff for the same price in a store. I would definitely plan on bringing lunch with me next time. I did appreciate the set up they had for the food court as it kept the lines moving quickly and the food hot. We saw lots of the animals, only a couple weren't viewable, they also had a great selection of stuffed animals, shirts, keychains, etc. in the gift shop and lots of deals to keep costs down which I appreciated. The carousel was enormous and fun. Overall great experience and we'll definitely be back!
