Usually love this zoo but this visit was not worth it. As a zoo member i was expecting more of a discount. I'm a member at the Cincinnati Zoo which is 2 to 3 times the size. Both zoos I think are the same price to get in but I was really surprised that this Zoo is one of the few that do participate in the reciprocity for Zoo memberships. so instead of being half price and free parking they only gave like a dollar or two discount. That was disappointing but the biggest disappointment was I came to see the orangutans and especially the baby. Well for some reason the baby wasn't coming out all day that day which was the only day that I was going to be in town. The regular orangutan area was being cleaned I walked over there three times and the orangutans still weren't out in their area so that was just very disappointing. I did see a baby elephant which that was cute but I'm really all about primates the other primates they were in the area that the glass was so scratched and dirty that you really couldn't hardly see them. Plus the weather was way too hot and it was uncomfortable I literally thought I was getting heat stroke I felt dizzy. The animals just kind of seemed lethargic and sad because they were uncomfortable I didn't even stay and see everything because I didn't feel good and I wasn't having a great time. When I arrived in the zoo I had trouble finding my way out of the garden area they didn't have signs and I was just trapped in the garden area I just wanted to see the animals I don't know this was just not a good zoo visit. Traffic was awful and construction...it was all just a mistake. read more
