I rate a zoo based on the extras besides just the animals. This zoo for sure has a great X factor of being part the way up a moutain so the views are wonderful. If you follow the markers there is a wonderful flow to the zoo that has you see new animals, then a kids area, then somewhere for a snack. The exhibits were nothing special but they don't need to be in my impression.

Sidenote: Setup a ride before hand. It was hard to find a ride back. In fact I had to ask for help and this wonderful lady with beautiful eyes who was working the gate was exactly what I needed! (Friendly staff over all)
