IS THERE SUCH THING AS A 6-STAR REVIEW? UGH this is the best place ever! I can't get enough of how amazing this place is. Sure they had a strike, but employees need job security so I am totally unaffected by it. Every exhibit has a wide variety of animals, amphibians and creepy crawlies that will leave you breathless. Panda exhibit is quite fascinating because they are rentals, SO GO BEFORE THEY ARE GONE.
Food is actually pretty decent, BUT only go to 2 restaurants (Safari and the one next to the Penguin Exhibit because they have top quality food). One thing you have to be careful with is when you go, because weekday, although not busy, a lot of food stalls are closed, so plan before you go. The Canadian exhibit is a bit of a walk, but great exercise and a great variety of Canadian animals to totally worth it.
