Did $7.13 weekend at the Houston Zoo. The real animals were outside the cages

Deep discounting ticket's on a weekend when most people are free isn't a good thing. The behavior I saw was disgraceful. The staff was clearly overwhelmed for a crowd this size, saw people feeding birds in the aviary Cheetos and snacks. Non stop banging on the glass of the primates enclosure trying to wake them up, shouting/bellowing at large animals in open enclosures. Throwing food inside cages, drunk parents with kids climbing every fence and railing available to climb and a general disregard for property and decorum.

The Jurassic Giants is a separate $10 paid exhibit but many dinosaurs have missing/broken appendages

Happy its over and hope the zoo doesn't do it again.
