Our visit..., Sun 22 Jul 2007
We thoroughly loved the zoo...Just somethings the park & rec department need to work on is the old flyers at visitors stations are outdated about 3 years. We attempted to see the ALBC Conservation exhibits that are no longer available,,,and nowhere does it mention you have to pay to get into the park, only to have to pay again to get into the zoo. The train is seasonal and not always operational, although we heard a whistle it was not running. Other than that the day was great staff friendly lots to feed and see. Plenty of non-endangered animals.
