I’m sorry it was such a disappointment this year! I know several others who said the same. Hopefully you’ll get the Zoo some feedback so maybe they can improve the program for next year. It has been great in past years, so I was surprised to hear that many weren’t happy this year. I hope you at least got to enjoy great weather and the Zoo animals!
Worst so called halloween event my family and I have experienced. Such a disappointment. Please save your money and avoid this destination. Our children/grandchildren were so dissatisfied. And don’t rely on staff to help in any way because it’s the blind leading the blind. Each one will tell you different. Gosh. For the price we paid to get in-we thought it would be a wonderful time. Such a let down from start to finish.
