When I first saw that day passes were $54 I almost decided not to go. However I heard it was one of the best zoos in the world, so I sprang for it. Once inside I realized why it was so expensive to get in. Every plant, flower, and animal was indiginous of the area where it was found in the zoo.(plants from Madagascar we're found in the Madagascar exhibit, and the terrain of the zoo was modeled after the terrain of that island.) The zoo is ridiculously huge. U could definitely spend several days getting through it. My favorite part was watching the lemurs play, and getting to see the koalas and wallabies. They also had spectacular aviaries filled with colorful birds. Wear your walking shoes and and take water. Take your time watching the pandas and the monkeys. Have some spring rolls as u walk and enjoy the smiling children as they discover the beauty of each new animal.
