This place has everything!
Taunting lemurs, shuffling elephants (for just a short while more!), gay penguins, evil, plotting monkeys, humping hyenas, PYGMY HIPPOS!
Visited the zoo on a $10 Groupon on November 5th. It was a crisp sunny day - perfect weather for the zoo. I highly recommend going in the cooler months. The animals are much more lively and playful, the crowds are smaller and the indoor pavilions don't smell as bad. There are some animals that are closed for the season, but if you're okay missing a tropical bird or a camel ride, you'll be fine.
Go see the elephants before they leave, and say hi to Pedro and Buddy the gay penguins!
PS. Free parking in the colder months FTW!
