Lonely Planet review

Meerkats are the current squeezables of the Disney set and one well-placed, big-eyed Timon wows kids entering the zoo. From there, undisputed crowdpleasers include swinging gibbons, frolicking sea lions, posturing chimpanzees, cuddling koalas, and, according to the zoo's director, anything currently defecating. The zoo is deceptively larger than it appears from outside; you'll need at least 2½ hours. New gorilla and elephant reserves coming soon.
