Exhibits and Animals
There are four main exhibit sections in the zoo; Asia, Africa, Amazon and Beyond and Australia. Pelican Cove, a large pond fed by a waterfall, contains various types of pelicans and waterfowl and lies adjacent to the ticket booths and Island Trader, the zoo's gift shop. Dr. Wilde's World is an indoor, seasonal, interactive exhibit that resides at the junction of the zoo's main pathways. The property includes a large lake, called Lake Iguana.
An air-conditioned monorail that loops around the zoo's premises, provides both an aerial view of the zoo and a convenient way to move between sections. The monorail has four stations; the first is in-between Asia and Australia, the second is located in the former, and the final two are in Africa.
Narrated tram rides and guided tours are given daily.

Famous quotes containing the words exhibits and/or animals:
“It exhibits the effort of an essentially prosaic mind to lift itself, by a prolonged muscular strain, into poetry.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Shall we never have done with that cliché, so stupid that it could only be human, about the sympathy of animals for man when he is unhappy? Animals love happiness almost as much as we do. A fit of crying disturbs them, they’ll sometimes imitate sobbing, and for a moment they’ll reflect our sadness. But they flee unhappiness as they flee fever, and I believe that in the long run they are capable of boycotting it.”
—Colette [Sidonie Gabrielle Colette] (1873–1954)
