Christmas Day, 2012. Taken from inside the zoo, this is the entrance (opening in middle) with the two gift shops. Doors closer to us are the zoo themed gift shop and doors on far end are the aquarium themed gift shop. This entrance and the aquariums behind it are open until 9pm year round. The zoo section closes at 6pm, at which time a rope barrier is pulled across (just behind where I stood for this photo).
