This place is way bigger than I anticipated, and had much more to do and see than I anticipated. They've got some animals that most zoos don't have (or at least not on display). I like the open islands all around the park -- I could watch the spider monkeys and lemurs for hours. I appreciated that most of the animal babies were out on display with their parents instead of inside their nighthouses. The tram was a great value, and gets you very close to some of the animals along with some knowledge that they can share since they work there and know the animals' histories. Skyride gets a nice different view, and gives your feet a break.

Cash only for rides is unfortunate, but I understand they don't want to make their infrastructure more complex. I just wish they would have punchcards or tickets for rides for sale at the entrance so they can be paid with a card along with the admission fees.
