I didn't include zoos I have not visited, I suspect there are several that would rank higher than the last ones on my list, but I was not comfortable guessing. Some likely candidates I have not visited are Sedgwick County, Oklahoma City, and North Carolina.

I'm curious as to why you ranked Omaha over Bronx and San Diego.
 
I ranked Omaha ahead of San Diego and Bronx because aside from a few exhibits that will be gone in a few years all of the habitats are really good, they have the best indoor rainforest, a huge African exhibit, a large aquarium, and an Asian highlands exhibit that is sure to be great.

Hmmm....well that kind of goes against the spirit of this. It wouldn't be fair to those zoos to include a rankings that didn't consider them.

Exhibits shouldn't really be considered until they're actually built. ;)

Asian Highlands can propel Henry Doorly higher in future rankings.
