Living Desert Zoo Has Declining Attendance

Drop in attendance pushes zoo to cut jobs | MyDesert.com | The Desert Sun

I've heard a lot of great things about this California zoo, but nobody here at ZooChat has ever posted a review. There is a fairly regular attendance of 350,000 per year, but 2008 was a struggle for this establishment.

I've been wanting to for a while, probably I'll try to go by Spring Break.

I have been, but this was about 1994 or so, and my memory is a little vague, and I don't have any pictures. It was nice, but no ASDM. Their bighorn exhibit was the only one I've ever seen that competes with the Phoenix Zoo in naturalism (same thing, fence around a natural butte)

Think you will see that facilities that are in communities that rely on tourism to drive their gate will see a drop in attendance. As economy gets worse people take their vacations close to home.
