Totally for a bigger event. My husband and I are supporters of the zoo and have gone to the Feast the last several years and I went to buy my tickets 4 days ago and the promo code for members wouldn't work so I figured I could get them at the door. Guess I won't be going this year after all. I'm so dissappointed.

I love zoos, but they can be confusing places. The great zoos are sprawling parks, with meandering trails that give you the feeling you're stumbling into a meadow or open veldt filled with fascinating wildlife.
