I hope they close. We wasted our time driving here and they won’t even let us in.
Very disappointed with the amount of walking and animal ratio. The monkeys were absent, no train, no giraffe, alligator, gorilla, zebra...the animals you expect to see.

This is the most boring zoo I've ever been to. We went for boo at the zoo, most animals weren't even out or had a sign saying it was too cold for them.
