That's crazy talk.  It's a free, large wooded place for my crazy toddler to walk/run herself into a sleepy daze.  [/quote]

+1 Why is the zoo, of all places, overrated?[/quote]

Because you have to pay $20 for parking and $6 for a basic hot dog!

^^Actual complaints I've heard.

(Never mind that there is no admission fee, saving you a bare minimum in other cities of $60 for a family of four-- maybe more than $80. Never mind that r/t public transport for four people anywhere in a major city is going to run you at least $15, and parking anywhere in a major city generally runs you at least $15 for six hours, if not much more. Never mind that same hot dog would still cost you $3 on the street and you're not forced to buy it anyway. Etc., etc.)[/quote]

As a family of 5, we paid over $250 to go to the San Diego Zoo.  Some people really don't know how good they have it.[/quote]

Thank you-- you get it! I'm not sure if some people thought I was actually making this ridiculous "too expensive" argument (the "Huh?" and "I'll give you that" posters), but no. Sure, it's uphill walking one way or another, food is not great, and all animals aren't awake all the time, but it's got TONS of them, all kinds of fun indoor exhibits, free talks from zookeepers, sprinklers on hot days, etc. We got a membership and go monthly-- and we don't even live in the neighborhood. My kid is literally never bored of it, and she's been at least 25 times. [/quote]
