A group of us should go to the Ft Worth Zoo sometime this week. Anybody interested?

CaptainTom · 08:58 AM

I know that Robin goes to the zoo a lot.
I usually go on Wednesday because I am cheap. (Wed. is half price day).
The zoo hours are 10am - 4pm and I suggest getting there when they open. The school kids can fill the place up.

p.s. as much as I like shooting the animals at the zoo, I also now know where all the gorgeous young moms are during the week. Maybe I'll spring for a membership????

Let's roll.....

Wednesday would be good.
I am now have a membership there, so I have to get the most out of it.

CaptainTom · 10-31-2005, 09:45 AM

Why don't you start a new thread with the Banner.. We are meeting at the zoo this Wed. at 10am. or something like that.

that way , we can attract some others ???

Do they still take your picture and put it on the card ???
Maybe I'll spring for the membership on Wednesday. If I go ten times I will save the membership fee in just parking there........!!!

Yea they do. I had mine done Saturday and it looked like crap.

Wed at 10:00? Sounds good to me. Which entrance or meeting spot for those of us who have never been?

There is just one entrance so I would meet there at 10:00am, and get cell# if someone can't make it by then.

CaptainTom · 10-31-2005, 02:47 PM

You can't get lost. Only one entrance. park in parking lot and then tell them you came with someone else and you won't have to pay for parking, but that would be unethical.
wed. is half price day for admission. Expect to pay less than $5 (parking is also $5).
If you arrive late, we will probably be at the lion enclosure (they will give you a map at entrance).

RHoldenSr · 10-31-2005, 02:48 PM

YES! We had ours done Sunday, she asked if we wanted to keep the old photos and I said no lets try a new one (BIG Mistake!) ROFLOL the news ones are awful and they printed real bad.
