My wife went there recently during the week with a few friends. It was a Monday afternoon. She said it was not what she expected. It was a neat experience but not as many animals as she thought. 10 bucks to get in for locals and that seemed kinda steep after she got in and realized how minimal the park was.  Also it was over 100 degrees and there was not a drop of water to be had. Every water fountain she stopped at....it said out of order.  This is very dangerous for visitors. They should have water available st all times.
