This is what you get when a zoo goes Hollywood. There's lots of over the top staging that really doesn't add much fo the experience, and you are required to walk through way too much merchandising before you really see animals. The enclosures seemed to be well maintained with a decent effort to give the animals engaging activities. Guests with mobility challenges should be aware that there are lots of changes in elevation (some seemed pretty steep) and you're going to get a workout, even though the zoo has clearly made a concerted effort to have ramps available. My last thought, knowing how much zoos need to fund raise to remain viable - did you really need to spend so much to have an entrance that looks like it's suffering from Jurasic Park envy?
