    Not the best zoo in the country. Few animals. Tons of concessions. It may be free but that's because you have to pay for everything inside separately. More lines and more money. And few animals.

    If you have young kids it's so worth it to get the family pass. It includes parking ($15) a lot of fun stuff like sea lion show, train, children's zoo. Also get 10% off at all food/gifts.
