Now the Houston Zoo raises admission fees
Okay, this business about the increase in toll road fees this week has been bad enough, but now the Chronicle reports that our friends at the zoo plan to make it a bit more financially difficult to watch the bears and walk among the snakes, bats, and birds at the zoo. Fie. Adults will pay ten dollars and then pay another five per child. While I want the zoo to take appropriate care of the animals, provide a good environment, and continue the great learning experience offered to Houstonians, it does seem a shame that a family of four will be spending twenty (uh, make that thirty) dollars just to gain entrance.
UPDATE: Thanks to Adam, an ever-alert reader, for the math correction. Too much frustration creates a fertile ground for very bad math. Reader Sedosi made the excellent suggestion to check into memberships. I haven't seen anything to indicate a raise in memberships--yet. A family membership (2 adults, up to 3 children) costs seventy dollars. Sounds like a great deal with a lot of additional benefits.
