Question of the Episode - objectively what is the best zoo exhibit you’ve ever seen?: I personally believe the Congo Gorilla Forest is the most valuable, and impactful exhibit in the nation. All around, from its immersion, creativity, education, and quality it’s nearly perfect. However, speaking objectively you could argue that a multi-acre zebra paddock is a better habitat from an animal husbandry standpoint. That being said, the most flawless, realistic and truly immersive zoo attraction I’ve ever experienced was Kilimanjaro Safaris… and I don’t think I need to elaborate any further.
