Brought some friends here for a quick sightseeing stop on the Strip. Thank goodness for locals discount. At $17 a pop it was bearable for what the Garden had to offer. If I had to pay the full 20 bucks I think I might have felt ripped off. Maybe I was expecting too much? Or maybe I was just disappointed that the llamas were gone. However, all the animals are very beautiful and well cared for so no complaints in that area.
My recommendations - if you are into sea life, the dolphins are really worth it. We probably spent a good 45 minutes watching them play and be feed by the staff. If you are into wild cats I would definitely say go a little later in the evening. There is more of a chance they will be awake.
