This should be good for lots of posts, I want to see the zoo and compare with San Diego.

The zoo is OK but some of the enclosures are way too small and there seemed to be no obvious enrichment for the dolphins other than the shows. (One large circular tank with nothing in it).
Lots of primates and some very mangy looking Guinea Pigs.
