Youngest orangutan

This beautiful zoo features a primate reserve, a 'penguinarium' and a large African animals area, among many other impressive exhibits and a train that does a 1-mile loop around the grounds. Enclosures are spacious and seminatural. Big-name concerts take place on the zoo's lawns in summer.
