I've been to a lot of zoos and I know they're usually "hit and miss" when it comes to seeing the animals. On the day we went, it was mostly a miss as most of the animals were in hiding for the day. Still, we got to see a lot of them. The zoo is a tough one to walk as you back track a good bit to get to different areas. Again, no big deal, but bring comfortable walking shoes. The staff was friendly and I liked how they had staff posted around the zoo to direct you if you needed help finding certain areas, etc. All in all, a nice zoo, but just a shade below some other great zoos like Columbus, San Diego, Pittsburgh.....
