The worst run zoo in North America. The staff is rude and nasty, the zookeepers are worse as they refuse to talk to or help anyone and purposely mis-inform guests and volunteers. And the volunteers are stuck up and help no one. And if they do help anyone, they are reprimanded by the staff. And the docents are undereducated dolts that have no idea what they are talking about. The worst of the lot are the higher-ups that design and build the zoo. two fires broke out the destroyed the Day House and Night House. That was almost 10 years ago. They still claim to bring them back but never have. And in a state that rains most of the time, indoor exhibits are essential for guest. But the zoo staff does not care. Hell, they cannot even be honest about the names of the animals. In one week of visits I got 4 different names for each of the brown bears and no one there knows the names of the gorillas. Which also brings up that issues that all the signs around the zoo about the animals are about 20 years old and the information is wrong.
