Third is by far the most amazing zoo I've ever been to! My boyfriend and I spent 5.5 hours enjoying the well laid out exhibits, interacting with the animals, and exploring the aquarium as well as the planetarium. Every enclosure had been carefully designed to allow not only the visitors to feel welcome and close to the animals, but also to give the animals themselves a sense of freedom. I've been to too many zoos where the animals look downright depressed, locked away behind steel and an enclosure that is far too small for them. Here, while the enclosures are not the largest, the animals are only given what walks are absolutely necessary for their safety and the safety of the guests. The difference is palpable and the animals seem far more content. While no animal should be caged, this zoo demonstrates the best options available to keep animals happy and healthy if they must be on display.
