A lot of the exhibits with animals seem very, very small, to the point where I was a little concerned for some animals. There are probably just as many educational play activities as exhibits, which is fine for kids, but for adults it's not as entertaining. The website specifically said that guests are still able to visit the river otters during renovation, which is the whole reason we visited - otters are my favorite - but this was not true as the otters were not viewable and will not be until renovations are completed in 2021. Cafe staff were unfriendly and rude, and the cafe prices were extremely high considering food quality (over twenty dollars for one gross hot dog on a stale bun and one cheeseburger combo). Overall, even with the discount, the admission prices seem high for what you end up experiencing.
