This is probably the best zoo I have been to for actually seeing the animals up and active. There is a big variety. My favorites are the elephants and the bats in the rainforest. In fact the rainforest is why I like coming here the most. It is a big place, so plan on doing some walking, or be smart and take the trams to the far our areas and save your steps for the main center area. I was disappointed that one wasn't running while I was there and my feet were not happy with that by the end of the day. But I always enjoy it there, no matter what.
