This place has so many good reviews that it doesn't even need my review - but what the heck! This zoo is so huge that I don't think it's humanly possible to do the entire zoo in one day. I guess you just have to prioritize on what you want to see the most. I'll start your prioritizing with my favorites:
The most unique, not your everyday zoo things include:
A great, indoor aviary with lots of exotic birds
A Madagascar area with many interesting species of primates, etc. (From what I remember it had an odd smell in there - you get used to it in a few minutes).
They have two other aviaries as well and they aren't as big (Dang they have a lot of birds there!)
The Wild Asia Monorail is a MUST DO because not only is it relaxing to just sit and be in the shade, but you get to see a lot of animals you can't see otherwise - once when I rode the monorail there was a Red Panda in a tree right at the same level as the monorail - so cute! :)
The Mouse House is great - they used to have a nocturnal building (which was one of the ultimate things there) but it closed due to budget cuts so they have some of the animals from the nocturnal exhibit in the Mouse House plus the cute little mice
By the way - make sure to ALWAYS be on the lookout for freely roaming peacocks walking around - they come pretty close to you because they probably get fed by the guests (even though you're not supposed to
