This zoo has such a wide variety of animals to view. You are able to get pretty close to them also. As with any place you are visiting the food and drinks are quite expensive. But a portion of the sales do to directly to the zoo. Though getting not getting a straw for your drink can be inconvenient, especially if you have little ones, it is for the safety of the animals. If you are planning to go on the free days be sure to get there way ahead of time to get a parking spot. I spent an hour fighting to get a parking spot. But other than that it was an amazing day with the kids seeing all the animals and even hearing the monkeys.
