    We felt the $15 price was high for the number of displays there. It offered interactive displays for the kids (many were out of commission) and one live animal show that was really at kid level. If we had been there with kids we might have considered it more worthwhile. For two adults it was just ho-hum. There were 4 shows at the attached planetarium which were an additional $4 each, adding to the already overpriced ticket, but the planetarium was also out of commission. For kids this attraction might be great. For adults, save your money and go the the zoo.

    It was just okay. For the price of it I expected a little more. Not even a full zoo charges that much and they didn't have alot. I think they could throw in a coupon for the gift shop for 15 bucks a person. The gift shop was my favorite thing there. The cafe was nice and the chicken strips we ordered were amazing ! Did get to see two horseshoe craps (both male) trying to mate well at least thats what the guy at the touch tank said they were doing.
