  Love this place! Wish we could get a season pass :( Fun for all ages and worth the price as long as you pack your own food and but tickets ahead of time. Parking is expensive,$10 for one day, but it's in Cincinnati so I can.understand deterring people who aren't actually visiting the zoo from parking there. All animals were out and about that could be. Love it!
