If you think this is a five-star zoo you have probably never experienced the Columbus zoo. Growing up in Cleveland, I thought all zoos probably looked like ours... But now as an adult I'm realizing this zoo is actually pretty sub par. The exhibits for the most part are small. I found myself feeling sorry for a lot of the animals. The Columbus exhibits are huge in comparison. Also, for the last few months all I've been hearing about is this new temporary Penguin exhibit. After visiting it, I was absolutely disappointed. There are signs all over directing you to what ended up being something you could pretty much walk past without noticing. It was TINY. 6 penguins shoved into a little tank. So sad. The Cleveland zoo is now a disappointment since I have a new frame of reference.
