At first i was happy when i stumbled on this classic from the 80s. my family went here on an rv trip to california and back. at the time we lived in phoenix. as a kid i had fun there, now at 53 id probably be more interested in the birds and the geology. it makes me sad to hear about animals in distress and employees who are chattycathys on the phone. i do remember it being slipshod even back then. so to chattycathy and the others who work there, get off the phone, fill the water bowls, clean the cages, go grab some paint and a brush and slap that paint onto the walls and whatever else that needs to be done. you are an international representative of the usa. dont disrespect yourself or us like this. please. noone wants a memory like this.
