    Do NOT use the photo booth in the food court. It steals your money. The Zoo apparently uses this as a fundraiser.

    Support the buskers in the park. You don't really need another pudding pop with that spare change anyway.

    Horrible zoo. Terrible old world enclosures. Seeing the big cats in the old lion house was especially depressing.

    Aunque había mucho mantenimiento, podías visitar a todos los animales aparte la entrada es gratuita y tienes buenas instalaciones, lo malo es que todos los kioskos estaban cerrados.
