My wife, kids and I just recently moved from Seattle and I had previously lived in LA. Both having bigger zoos then Oregon's. We were not expecting the same experience at the Oregon Zoo. We were pleasantly surprised at how great the zoo was. Ya, it might not be as big but it has a great selection of animals and the zoo has one the most beautiful locations then the other zoos I have been too. We have been back a few times and really enjoyed zoo lights around Christmas time was great. We hear they have great concerts during the summer and can't wait to check one of those out. Strongly recommend checking the zoo out if you have not already.
