Yeah I'm wondering the same thing. Its not enough time to visit the whole zoo. You don't have time to actually look at all the wonderful animals an habitats. My guess is cleaning up the zoo an taking care of the animals.
The animals are on a schedule. Feeding, cleaning, vet care for some. Its one of the top zoos for a reason. Animal care is a priority.
Probably staffing problems. Everyone is hurting since unemployment pays more now than working.
My family got there at 10 and we saw it all and had tons of fun and we were done at 3:30-4pm, I don't know why they close so early
I wondered the same thing. I took my niece and nephew's who are visiting from New Orleans. I was unaware that they closed that early. I feel that they barely got to see half of the zoo before we were being asked to leave. I thought we were getting there at a fairly good time by coming around 2-2:30pm. Obviously I was wrong.
