I see this old post got a rebirth from two months ago. Just wanted to add that we enjoyed the zoo so much we bought a year membership - YAY! I haven't been back yet but the weather has been too cold. We often have unusually warm days in the 60s during the winter so I plan to go some then and of course a lot more in the spring and summer.

Unfortunately they haven't found a new home for the brown bear and I read they will need around $30,000 to build him a suitable enclosure there and right now they are starting much needed improvements in other areas and don't have the money.
