Fodor's Review:
Lions, gorillas, and bears, oh my! At this urban zoo, you can face-off with lions (separated by a window, of course) outside the Lion House, watch 24 gorillas go ape in the Great Ape House, or watch some rare and endangered species of bears, such as the spectacle bear (named for the eyeglasslike markings around its eyes).
Animals both slithery (pythons) and cuddly (koalas) reside in the glass-dome Regenstein Small Mammal and Reptile House; if you're looking for the big guys (elephants, giraffes, black rhinos), they're in the large-mammal house. For youngsters, there are the children's zoo, the Farm in the Zoo (farm animals and a learning center with films and demonstrations), and the Conservation Station, with hands-on activities.
