Seriously substandard. While I have no doubt the animals themselves are very well cared for, the zoo itself is not visitor friendly at all. Most of the enclosures are unnecessarily surrounded by tall thick hedges making it very difficult to see anything. Several of the enclosures appeared to be little more than empty fields. The whole facility seems very poorly maintained, for example the glass is so grimy that it makes taking a photograph through it a waste of time, or the large rust stains on the glass of the underwater panel looking to the sea lions.
Some of the habitats are plainly not compatible with this climate, such as the meerkat's which appears little more than a sloshy mud hole.
Perhaps for small children it would be worth a visit, but given that the zoo is built on a steep hill and the enclosures are surrounded by high hedges, it's not suitable for them either.
