Signed, closing that would be like saying they don't exist, mabye they need better educators to make the exhibits more fun or hands on learning.

Have you seen why they did it? It comes down to the age of the building and the expense of upkeep.

The funding claim is a bold faced lie. Director Kelly spent 1.5 million on a carousel and 105 million on upgrades to the elephant and panda exhibits (2 whole species versus many hundreds) and refused offers to accept fundraising for the invertebrate exhibit since it might take away from his favorite animals.
