We keep coming back hoping for a change.....nope. The Groupon route for tix yielded $67.00 for 2 adults, 1 child.
The bus station in Total Recall is a cleaner experience. There seems to be a lack of quality control with the cafés, in particular, the Safari Cafe. A cheeseburger, 2 med drinks, 1 chicken wrap and a kids meal hot dog = $31.00. What you also get is a disgustingly dirty table. Take your pick, they're all filthy. The animals in the cages are more hygienic. Sad.
I can't blame the sense of apathy completely on the kids working there as much as I would rather hold the management responsible for low performing employees and a total disregard for standards.
No more. The total day was an astounding $128 ($3 for feed and $12 for waters, $15 for train ride plus previously mentioned). The next time, I'll donate my money to a charity.
