while I understand it can be disappointing to not see all the animals, I will take that rather than unhealthy and sad habitats where animals are always on display like it or not. the zoo has really is so much healthier than its past when i was a kid. we did go to the Zoo lights and loved that holiday exhibit. I hope they do that annually. I saw many people online complaining about the price when other displays are free but we thought it was worth the money for sure. Was also great to just pull up and not wait in line forever like some free displays.
