5.00This was a great experience, our guide (Rob) was awesome, he has worked at the zoo for many years and his knowledge and love for the animals was amazing, Unfortunately for us, the zoo is too large to see everything in one visit and we only had the one day for a visit, perhaps a return trip will be required
