Went to Bonnie Springs for my third time taking my daughter's friend who has never been there before. The weather was just perfect for the drive to Red Rock area to the little town of Bonnie Springs. When I came in the past on a weekend they used to charge per car, but now they charge $5.00 per person which is really not that expensive. That gets you into the Zoo and the Old Towne. The train conductor seemed a little stressed having to collect money and drive the train, but once we got going and the kids were waving to passer byers he seemed to lighten up and enjoy it. The kids LOVED the train ride. We first went to see the ducks and the turtles. The odor was really bad from the water, but that didn't mind the kids. A few adults hit the bar for a beer while we took the kids around. We saw ostrichs, birds of all sorts, horses, then to the zoo which is now a 401C non-profit group managing it which I am happy about. They have changed the way the pens are arranged and it seemed smaller, but I love it and so did the kids even though my daughter had to run when a goat was chasing her for food. Too silly! The Old Towne gift shops don't have a lot of inventory and prices seemed high. What I loved was the Melodrama and the hanging. The actors really liked what they were doing and it made for a great show. There are so many "Kodak" moments here at Bonnie Springs. I just love what they have done with the place. So, if you can deal with a little maintenance issues and not enough staff and look past that this is a great place to bring out of town guests for the little ones. Warning: Do NOT wear a tie in the restaurant - they will cut it off and hang it from the wall.
