Fun and pleasant way to spend at the zoo with only adults. Most Animals were out and active. It would be nice to have at least one drink ticket come included with your admission. I get it to support out local zoo. My family has supported and continues to visit the zoo. This was a pricier ticket and then to pay for drinks in addition wasn’t a cheap night at the zoo!

Always a great time! Until you witness a chimp poop in it’s own hand and eat it. Haha
