I'm pretty sure the last time I visited this zoo was when I was a small kid. I remembered nothing so it was "new to me" too.
The highlights for us were the Kangaroos, which my daughter liked to watch hop around. She hopped like a Kangaroo herself to the next exhibit. We also liked the Giraffes. There is a viewing area just across a small "water hole" which allows for a very up close experience. We also really liked Tropic World, a very large indoor Ape and Monkey exhibit. It's divided into three main halls for South American, Asian and African species in each hall. We especially like the Gorilla area with a large viewing platform that went all around the habitat, which unfortunately seemed kind of small.
We ended the day with the Dolphin Show. We were surprised that it was
both an extra charge and only a 20 minute show. We got there early to
get good seats and ended up waiting far longer than the show lasted.
