I have to say it appears my idea of a great zoo differs greatly from my fellow yelpers.\n\nThis zoo does have some great features.  Fantastic variety of animals from all over the world.  And if you like tigers, this is the zoo for you.  The animals appear well-cared for and the grounds are reasonably clean.\n\nHowever, it escapes me how this zoo can warrant a five-star rating given the number of \"exhibits\" that are merely large cages sitting side-by-side like little hotel rooms.  Don't get me wrong, some of the exhibits are great and well-designed.  But many others are terrible and seem to offer little to the animals except shelter.  Perhaps this zoo houses more animals than it can adequately support.\n\nFor $18 a ticket, I expect more.\nI
