[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think NPS is blaming covid for a lot of things that they wanted to do all along. Like tickets at the National Zoo. There were fights and gangs nonstop that they couldn't control. The tickets have stopped all that.[/quote]

Please don't fall for the "fights and gangs nonstop" nonsense. I am a longtime Zoo volunteer and it's just not true. Were there a few highly publicized instances over a period of years (and not all inside the Zoo), yes. But they were rare and there has never been constant, or even intermittent, mayhem. I'm not sure what the objective is for repeating this mischaracterization as truth, but we all need to cut it out. It's a shame that the Zoo is no longer as accessible as it once was to all who want to visit. [/quote]

Not to make this thread about the zoo. But there were a lot of unruly teenagers that were there daily on days off, weekends or holidays. I'm not making this up and have no reason to. We went often with our kids. The teens weren't there to see the animals, so they should hang out in other parks.

NPS made a lot of changes post covid like closing beach drive and the zoo tickets[/quote]
