I agree with a previous poster that there used to be more animals. They’ve been redeveloping the entire zoo over the past few years and this has resulted in fewer animals with bigger and nicer exhibits. Their next update is to make an arctic passage and it looks like it will be using some currently unused space very well. They’ve also been able to land some more interesting animals of late like the Red Pandas, African Porcupines and Meerkats (though only 2 meerkats aren’t that exciting to watch) in the children’s zoo area.

I think this zoo is easily one of the best free zoos in the country and am glad to see they are working hard to get it into the new millenia.
