A fine zoo! If you're basing your expectations off e.g. the St. Louis zoo, the price of admission may seem steep, but I found it was a worthwhile experience and you can apply the price of your day's tickets to a membership as a sort of 'try before you member' deal. For me the standout attraction above and beyond other zoos I've been to is the elephant exhibit - there are two large areas with separate female/family herd vs. bachelor male herd, and you can see the two baby/child elephants Tilly and Joy at play.
