I asked why, as we had ordered three combos and she told us it is only two combos we had ordered and a chicken sandwich. pepper and she proceeded to tell us that it is only two drinks. She did look or act as if she were new or she didn’t know what to do. The Woman who was at the window helping us wrote our order down and charged us, we paid, and then she asked for our beverage choices. Homestyle Burger combos and one Jungle Bird Crispy Chicken Sandwich combo. We decided to go to the Oasis for lunch instead of rushing around and eating outside of the zoo. My Bad Experience: After a few hours of walking around Gladys Porter Zoo we ended up getting hungry. With 28 acres of tropical plants and about 1,600 animals, Gladys Porter Zoo is known for its success in breeding endangered species of wildlife.” I also thought it was worth mentioning September 3rd of this year will be Gladys Porter Zoo’s 50th Anniversary, half a century is pretty impressive!ĭid you know Harambe the Gorilla (from the tragic accident in 2016) was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville, Texas? He was named by a counselor who won a naming contest sponsored by the zoo and around September of 2014 Harambe was the transferred to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden.įor more information you can contact Gladys Porter Zoo at (956) 546-7187 It seems like its just been negatives but there are good things here I promise!Īs stated by their website “The Gladys Porter Zoo is located in the center of Brownsville, Texas. I could actually keep going on and on about the controversy behind zoos but i’ll let you enjoy the rest of this post. This is in general and not directing my view point towards Gladys Porter Zoo. Not all zoos of course are like this, several actually help out with conservation. There are more correct ways to help endangered species than how some of these zoos handle it. seriously, they should not be public entertainment. Going to see the tiny plain spaces they live in hurt me. Along the lines, most if not all of these animals do not get enough room to be living in a zoo. But some of these species are not rated as threatened and continue to be the entertainment for public. Again, a controversial topic, because of zoos some of these species would not be alive today as they’d had gone extinct. Right? Although some may be protecting the world’s most endangered species they do not (in my opinion) deserve to be captured. why you may be asking? Education and Conservation are the main reasons that keep them going. Again, I really enjoyed my time at the zoo and loved what they had to offer, my experience does not at all mean it will also happen to you and you should go and support Gladys Porter Zoo and the hard work they do with their various conservation projects to preserve endangered species.Ĭontroversy: I am not a big fan of zoos unless I know what’s happening. Of course it is not a very big “life ruining” deal but I would like to be honest with my experience visiting and hope you understand. There were a few encounters we had problems with, including the staff and we also questioned a few things that happened. My Thoughts: Before you read forward, I wanted to express how in this blog post you will be reading some of my bad experiences but it was a great visit – overall. Heads Up: I took SO many photos!! I hope you find them to be more informative than overbearing. We spent the entire Thursday admiring the animals and walking around under the Texas sun. It was our first visit and had been a very long time since I had gone to any zoo in general. This past week our family took the opportunity to visit Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville.
