We were very excited to take our daughter to the zoo since she hasn’t been since she was a baby but we were utterly disappointed. We drove 3 hours to come see the animals and paid for hotel so we could get up early to get there when opening. The price was $80 for 2 adults and 1 child which in itself is crazy but what makes it worse is many of the animals are no longer there as well as many animals being put away which I guess I do understand that as they can get sick or get us sick but we had no idea. The site was glitching when we tried to look at costs and stuff before coming down that day (yesterday) so we just drove down and got a room and got tickets at the gate and so we didn’t know how much the price went up and we didn’t know chimps were gone, birds are not around, many animals not out at all the big cats we couldn’t see or find besides I believe cheetah. The shows also weren’t happening which was one thing my daughter was looking forward to as well as the chimps and big cats. We don’t get to get out often as there’s not much where we live and we can’t make a 3 hour one way (without traffic) often to go to zoo or something. When we do we like to enjoy and we didn’t. I have a special need 7 year old who loves animals and they comfort her and she was extremely disappointed. We paid 80$ and stayed under 1 hour. We are pretty disappointed and my daughter is still pretty hurt and sad. The price should not be this expensive when many things are not available anymore and many animals are gone or put in back away from us. I get inflation but this is just crazy and extremely disappointing especially when we traveled a long time to come and got hotel specifically to come here. We essentially got a hotel room and paid 80$ to be in the zoo for an hour then drive all the way back home as we only came for the zoo and with the expensive tickets we couldn’t afford to take her to fundeeland to make up for the zoo which was very sad. She had high hopes and we were all letdown and unfortunately many others as well as I heard a few conversations the short time we walked around. It’s all very disappointing and sad.
