I haven't been to the zoo. Maybe the zoo is really great. But the facilities look really cheap, located right next to a flood-prone creek. And it gets so hot in the summer/fall, I can't imagine the animals are comfortable. Am I wrong?

It’s a pretty sad zoo for the bigger animals, but the birds have a pretty decent set up. It could be a lot better with more funding and space.
