Awesome zoo!
I live near this zoo and I buy a membership every year. I pay about $60 and I get to bring my kids grandma, my hubby, and up to 8 kids. And I get 10% off in the gift store with the membership, oh and a free tshirt. It is a great zoo, we go once a week and it never gets old. Everytime we go is like the first time for my kids. We always bring a picnic lunch and eat at one of the picnic tables. It is a great family day, and we never have to pay so that makes it even when we don't really have the money. There are so many awesome animals out all the time and they just got the new monkey play exhibit, which the kids love. And they are working on a new exhibit for the elephants. A few times this summer they have been walking the elephants around and my kids have gotten to pet them and they just love that. The staff is super friendly and always happy to talk to you about the animals and answer any questions. It is a great place!
