One of the best zoos I've been to. Very crowded today as it was a school holiday but the parking lot full was a clue to how much people here love their zoo and for good reason. Clean and well staffed. The exhibits tend to the open and expansive almost as if one were not in a zoo at all. The Africa display was particularly impressive.

It's worth an extra day even if your ultimate destination is Yosemite -- yes I think it's that good.
