text: NOTE TO SELFOTHERS Check zoo hours before going Apparently they close at On a Saturday When it is beautiful weather Maybe that is an obvious close time to everyone else but we sure were disappointednnI guess there is a whole slew of stuff we missed seeing and some other exhibits we passed were closed for a wedding I guess it is cool to get married in the orangutan exhibit Or else the orangutans were getting married Maybe those antigay marriage folks were right in that it would lead to animal marriagesnnAnyways we all know it is not the greatest of zoos because it is freaking hot half the year and it is not super nice to subject a lot of animals to degrees But it is a decent enough selection they have friendly staff it is clean and they have free parking GD I love me some free parkingnnLots of the learn more by pressing this button things did not work At least one water fountain did not work but hey it was conveniently next to an overpriced soda machine Like most other zoos they make you exit through the gift shop so your wee ones can spend the car ride home crying about how they did not get x overpriced toystuffed animalnnI do think if your kids are young enough you could probably just take them past the ticket counter and check out the animals you can see below the bridgein the water Those ducks fish and turtles are FREE to see and what or year old needs the whole menagerie anyways
