Another Summer...another ZOO trip!
Yesterday we decided to visit the RACINE ZOO which is the next city north of us. I have gone to this zoo since I was a very young child and no I won't say how many years ago that was! lol
But I will say that the place is lacking in animals. Each summer we make at least one visit to this zoo since it is not only close but my kids love going there. But sadly each year we see less zoo animals and production on the 'changes' they keep saying they are working on seems to stay the same.
This also is the very first year of the history that I know of that they started charging a entrance fee. That is disappointing in a way since now you feel they owe you more than a few animals and a run down look.
Before we felt compelled to offer a donation since we felt the 'need' of the money but it's funny how now they demand a fee and you want to help less. Doesn't make sense. lol We skipped the trip to the gift shop and buying soda drinks and brought our own lunch. So it seems they made less on us. Maybe they should keep it free with the donation box and bring the money in some other way by offering more at the gift shop or food court.
It's funny how people react to simply things. Oh well..on with some pictures.........
