This is a really well-thought-out Zoo. Almost all of the outdoor trails are at least half shaded if not fully shaded. There was a lot of care put into the planning to make things comfortable for guests especially during the summer. On my visit today temperatures rose to around 95 degrees. The zoo has set up misting stations and water fountains aplenty. There are many indoor exhibits as well to help you beat the heat including aviaries the bug house the reptile house and the manatee retreat. Everything here was a huge hit with the kids and the polar bears were surprisingly active during the heat of the day. The Lions however could not be woken up. I would gladly go back.
