Some of the animals looked extremely unhappy. I walked past a polar bear, sweltering in 40 degrees celcius heat.

We have got under its charm and visited Zoo at various times of day. And each time it was differently, and avoid hot hours of midday -... More

Practical things like toilets are nicely spread out, and we never found ourselves scrambling to find one. The zoo is nicely layed out,... More
