This is one of the best and biggest zoos that I've ever been to. They have such wide variety of animals that practically you could name an animal that you've seen at a zoo before and most likely the Los Angeles Zoo will have it. I went here in the summer of 2010 when three major areas of the zoo were closed for construction: The LAIR (indoor reptile area), the elephant exhibit, and the the Rain Forest of the Americas. Despite this, I still saw more than enough animals. I was there for hours and couldn't even finish seeing everything. Some of the highlights of the zoo for me were the seals and sea lion exhibit exhibit because of the large underwater viewing, the gorilla exhibit because they have two troops in multiple viewing areas, the chimpanzees because they were performing tricks because they used to be in the circus, the koalas because you don't see these too often in zoos in America, the aviary because it feels like you're walking up the side of a mountain in a jungle, and the meerkats because you can see what them through the underground burrows. I highly recommend the LA Zoo to both locals and visitors, and if you're a zoo/animal lover this zoo is a must!
