Disappointed. I had very high hopes based on the zoos reputation around the world. Overall the exhibits were interesting and informative, but it didn't seem like anything that special compared to what you see at other zoos for a much lower price.

Would have given it 4 starts since exhibits were still good, except for the zoo's bus tours. This tragic afterthought of an activity results in loud, hot, and dangerous bus traffic barrelling through what appears used to be the zoo's walkways. Any visitors not on the buses are subjected to a sidewalk about half the width of an average city sidewalk. So as your trying to take in a feature exhibit, you're interrupted by the sound of bus brakes, a guide on a mic, and exhaust in your lungs. Completely ruined the entire zoo for me. Hardly any areas can escape having buses barrelling past constantly. There are also very few safety barriers if any in most areas, causing buses to push through pedestrian areas putting people in danger. No matter how careful the drivers are this is an accident waiting to happen. Bus ideas may have sounded great in theory but needs a SERIOUS rethinking.
