There is something for everyone. Animals, animal education, shows, coasters, and food. You definitely want to skip the lines and order your tickets online, including your parking pass. No outside food allowed in the park, so unless you plan on walking back to your car the ticket with all day dining is a good option to fill your bellies (food was good, they even have fresh salads and fruit available)and stay hydrated in the heat. If you're a coaster rider and want to do shows then choose an add on for the quick que otherwise you won't fit everything in on the short operating hour days. The Turn It Up skate show is a must do. The skaters do an amazing job in a small space, plus it's a good place to cool down. The animals are a relaxing treat and the gorillas (Bolingo & his sons) are cool. Overall a good time & you may still encounter some ugly personalities (we did), but ignore them and move on.
