The zoo was impressive. It had changed quite a bit since my last visit around 1997. The exhibits were spacious and there were several "talk with the zookeeper" opportunities throughout the day. The staff was out and about and friendly with the guests. It took the better part of four hours to see the entire zoo and we skipped two big exhibits because it was getting hot and feet were getting tired.
Hands down the polar bear exhibit was the best. We stood and watched one of the bears make laps in the water for at least twenty minutes. He had two patterned laps he made over and over while we stood and watched. I was completely in awe.
WHOA.
There were two bears in this exhibit.
Here is the second one hanging out above the pool.
He was so graceful in the water.

We took plenty of snacks to eat there, but should have taken more water.

Just so cool.
Family. Love them.
The zoo is in the process of adding a huge penguin exhibit. It should be completed late this year. We'll definitely be making a return trip to see it.
