Spent a few hours walking around the San Diego Zoo with my mom today. Got her out of the house to get some exercise. Perfect day for it with the warm weather and no crowds. Highlight of the visit was seeing two tiny capybara, one which was only two weeks old and the other which was born yesterday. Also watched a 3D movie in the newly opened 4D theater by the upper access to the Skyfari. It was an environmental/conservation take on “Happy Feet” with original cast voices. The film itself was pretty good, the 3D was decent and the in-theater effects were ok, but I believe they should rethink their decision to charge extra to see it. At $6 per person ($5 for member) I don’t think they will get too many viewers. We had only seven people for our showing, although it was a light day and not too many people know the theater is there yet. Still, after paying the entrance fee and food being expensive, I think most people will just pass on this.
