Renovations of many of the zoo's older buildings and new exhibits have modernized the zoo. Popular exhibits include the new Amphibiville, home of the National Amphibian Conservation Center, a Wildlife Interpretive Center and adjacent butterfly/hummingbird gallery, a chimpanzee exhibit, a penguinarium and a model farm. The grounds are large and a free train is often crowded in summer.

You also get one of the best 'Jukeboxes' here which belts out some great tunes.

Besides this, the bar also boasts of a pool table and arcade games arena which adds to the overall fun quotient.
