Such short notice. I want to take my grandson but our day is already planned. Might sound like I'm a cheapskate, but since he is only 2, I don't know if he would get any more enjoyment out of just seeing animals than he already enjoys seeing his fish in a tank or playing with his dogs or cat. He would probably like to hug a bear.
This is great....we're the only city in the United States with a dedicated tax that we pay to the zoo and a few days a year they "let us in for free". Do I feel lucky or what?
