Families in Houston, Texas, are upset with the local zoo after it prioritized a celebrity couple over its non-famous visitors.
Rapper/Houston-native Travis Scott, Kylie Jenner, and their 3-year-old daughter Stormi visited the Houston Zoo on Sunday, September 19.
The famous family's visit was sure to draw attention, but it also drew disappointment when the zoo shut down its carousel for the special guests.
“We’re going to the carousel because it’s her favorite thing to do. She does it every time we’re there. We scanned her ticket, she got in line maybe 2 people in or 3 people about to get on the carousel and then they cleared the entire place out,” local mom Crystal Stemberger told KPRC about what happened during her visit with her 3-year-old daughter Cadence.
When Stemberger and her daughter got in line for a second time, the carousel was cleared out again.
“12 kids were in line the first time maybe 14 the second time because it had just reopened. They weren’t as important as this family? That doesn’t make sense to me," she said.
One zoo-goer on Reddit vented that Jenner's security detail was "super rude" to those waiting in line.
"Excuse me we just paid and waited in line for a ride and now we’re being pushed aside for your clients? A bunch of kids ended up crying because of them," they wrote.
