Having grown up 15 minute away from this place and went once a week until a I started grade school, it’s never going to not be weird to me to see this place referred to as a “Zoo” instead of “Bayou Wildlife Park.” BTW, did they ditch the white rhinos? They had up to four of them at one point and they were one of their main features along with the giraffe (singular, they only had the one: Ralph).
