Mmmmm.... well I've been to the other Zoo's before, and at my age, seeing
animals pretending to be in their natural habitat doesn't really appeal
to me.
Personally, I only went was to experience what a LEGO roadshow was like.
I would have stayed longer if I could. Though I have to confess that
after 90 minutes, the thrill of the brick there was starting to wane, and
I even dare say, that I had no regrets leaving at the end of the 2 hours
(I think I was even beginning to get bored).

Well you are right having a controlled access, really reduces (but probably
doesn't eliminate) the chances of "foul play". Having it in a fairly secured
compound, also reduces the chance of theft at night.
I'm really not complaining about the money. I'm really more complaining about
the amount of time being spent. But that is mostly my fault or should I
say that is the fault of my choice of work. (and really inopportune work
shifts).
Thanks, Ben
