An amazing zoo, they are constantly doing renovations and updating the animal exhibits, of all the zoo's I have seen, the Toledo zoo does the best job of recreating their natural environments and giving the animals plenty of space to play while still getting guests close enough to see them, my favorite areas are the Africa section, the aviary, and aquarium. In the Africa zone you can take a train around a large enclosure and see all kinds of African species in the same area, the only draw back is that's really the only way to see them, the aviary is fun because you walk through different climate zones with birds from that area flying all around you, I just wish they had more rooms like that, they recently redid the aquarium with an interactive touch tank and a separate area with a zoo rep that brings out smaller aquatic creatures to touch and tells you about them, the only problem is the signage is severely lacking with very little background information on the different species; in addition I would like to make a special note on the new elephant exhibit, it's bigger and they are more active than ever before playing with the tree structures and just seem more engaged in general
