This zoo exceeds all expectations. It's enormous, gorgeous (check out all the plant life!), diverse (pandas!), very accommodating (bus tours, bus transportation around the park, and even the aerial tram to get from one side of the park to the other). The exhibits have multiple viewing areas so the animals are almost always in perfect view.

We arrived right before the park opened and stayed the entire day, and I feel like we just barely saw everything -- this place is HUGE! Make use of the map and plan your routes. There were also lots of baby animals when we came which was amazing. We saw baby gorillas and orangutans harassing their parents, two little baby leopards that were so cute, and more. Even with a couple areas/exhibits under construction, the park felt immense and full of great exhibits. The prices may seem high for tickets, food, etc, but when you see the quality of park that you're supporting the prices seem more than reasonable.

Can't recommend this place enough!
