Creator's Key Takeaways
This is one of the best zoos in the world.
I would even go to an extreme and say even if you're not going to the zoo or any specific uh place, just this ferry ride for the perfect opera house views is amazing.
I can see why this is considered the best or one of the best zoos in the world.
I will still recommend if you're spending that much money, make sure you come first thing in the morning.
