What a great time going. The last time I was here was when I was a child and how it has grown and changed is incredible.
Such a diverse choice of animals from different regions of the world.
Great displays touching upon conservation, education, and the impact mankind has on wildlife.
Many extras with gift shops, food choices, rides, etc. Highlights were the manatee and hyena displays.

Had an enjoyable day at the zoo. There was hardly anyone there which made it a very relaxing day. The new North American Trek was nice, but apparently there is a phase 2 that hasn't started yet. I saw most of the animals but there were a few not out including the Polar Bears. The one negative was that a lot of the food places weren't open because it wasn't very crowded. All in all, a fun day looking at the animals.

Fantastic zoo. Took our family, with kids agreed 6 to 10, 5 hours to see it all (watermark was closed for the season). Surprisingly quiet on a Fall Thursday morning which was great. They have many animals I have never seen in other zoos like wolves, wolverines, manatees, and bonobos. Attractions like feed the giraffes, VR, dinosaur ride, 4d theater are extra but a reasonable few dollars typically. If you are not a resident admission can be quite expensive. Worth it I think but you can also check the discount options on the Zoo website to ride COTA bus to the zoo and save a lot of money ($4 bus ride round-trip and $10 admission).
