One of the nicer zoos I've been too. I found the price to be very in line with what other zoos charge. I loved the nice, large enclosures. The way they were laid out I saw all of the animals, even going in the middle of the day. The enclosures are set up so that the animals can get out of the sun, but you can see nearly every part of the enclosure. I also like the way the sections flow naturally from one into the next. Water is free unless you're opposed to using a water fountain. They're located all over the zoo. Still, unlike many places, they allow you to bring in your own drinks and snacks. I didn't pay a dime for anything other than my ticket and didn't feel like I missed out on anything. Also, even though I'm only in town for a couple of weeks, I got a membership. It helps pay for the nice enclosures and you also get two free passes to bring friends, which I will use. Within a week, the pass will pay for itself and they have reciprocity with zoos closer to where I live.
