This is not the usual zoo, it's a giant entertainment business. They don't show much variety but only the most prestigious/fancy animals. Little looks natural, it is rather "polished" to perfection. If you like that or not is probably a matter of taste, I for my part think it gives children a unrealistic view on nature.
The core part of this zoo are the many animal shows, wich makes the zoo a good choice for rainy days since the shows all have roofs. Educational elements are included but stand back over the show effect.
The 35 entrance fee seemes high at first, but can be explained with the high amount of maintainance and the expensive to keep animals there. Food prices seemed reasonable (didn't try anything).
However I did feel often like in a giant advertisement, since there is merchandise and special offers everywhere, which mad everything feel a bit shady.
