We were taken upstairs, which is fine because I know servers up there want tables too. Problem was not really my server, but the loud mouthed bar tender that screamed at the top of her lungs to each of her male customers. We had a child with us and she cussed the whole time which is also normally fine, but she was SCREAMING. Our server was very friendly, but preoccupied since we were here only table. The food was good, but I would not recommend the upstairs if the same bartender is there. Had I been sitting across from her I would have gotten up and left and we actually saw two male patrons leave because of her demeanor. The manager came up to see how slow the tables were up there and that was the only time she was screaming and cussing.

We had a blast here. I was expecting mediocre based on some of the reviews, but it was so above and beyond. All of the exhibits were fantastic. We got to see whale sharks being fed and so much more. We did see the dolphin show and we're pleasantly surprised that it was short and sweet. We love somewhere that we have been shown dolphin shows since elementary school field trips and this was so much better than those. Really really glad we went

We had a great time today. Took a out 2½ hours to see all the sights and animals. We didn't go to the kiddie playgrounds so I'm sure you could spend over 3 hours there with no problem with a smaller child. Most of the animals looks happy with the exception of 2 species, but I believe they are transitioning between enclosures.
I would suggest getting there as close to opening as possible
We arrived a bit after 9 and had plenty of spaces to choose from, but when we left around 1230 people were circling as the lot was full. Parking was $3 per hour.
The staff and volunteers were attentive and eager to answer questions. It really wasn't quite as big of a zoo as I expected, but it was good time.
