This is a sprawling zoo with many animals and exhibits. The heat and humidity can be exhausting, so avoid the zoo on hot days. Plastic straws are not dispensed with the drinks, and instead sippy-cup lids are used, which are made with thick plastic, and do not work well to contain ice.. Can't they use biodegradable straws instead? They could revert back to the thinner lids (using less plastic) and it would be a win-win for the customers and the environment.
