We visited Aug 28, 2015. Arrived at opening. (Grandkids, 6 & 8, have been to all the zoos anywhere near DC many times.) The weather was pleasant and all the animals were extremely active. We got great shows from the Ring-tailed Lemurs, Bengal Tigers, Cockatoo, Giraffes, Gibbon, and Asian Bears particularly. One of the bears swam and splashed a great deal. A Hornbill tried to bring us presents. The Parakeets in their walk-in enclosure swarmed us in the most delightful way. We have never laughed so hard or enjoyed ourselves as much at any zoo. The animals were not only friendly but appeared in excellent health. Only the Serval and Fennec Fox did not seem especially thrilled to see us. The Serval wasn't hiding in its shed, it just did not come to us for attention. The Fennec Fox was pacing a little. We could not stay for the Elephant ride, but will plan for it when we return.
