He'll yeah my hometown has the best zoo I've seen out of many states. I remember when they had an albino alligator, it was wild to see. Plus you can walk with the penguins in the cool newish exhibit. It's probably been there for 10 years now but I still think it's awesome. The coolest thing there is the big main cafe. It has large bars around it because it actually used to be the monkey exhibit.
