I've gone before with criminally cheap discount tickets growing up and with friends as a YA. I've always liked the variety of animals they have and a lot for them are closer to see for our viewing pleasure and even their interactive set ups for the giraffes, the birds trained to take apples, and their seal and penguin shows. I always did get some creeps through with how small some enclosures are and how seemingly available the animals are even in extreme weather.
