Most Underrated zoo's

I recently visited the palm beach zoo and I was really cool they lacked normal animals like giraffes and lions. Yet they had a lot of rare animals like koalas, White Alligators , Ocelots, and tapirs. I also really liked their big cat tiger and jaguar habitats. This makes me wonder are their really cool small zoos out their that we don't know about? What are some of the most underrated zoos you have been to?
 
I went ahead and took the liberty of merging most of your threads into one post to keep everything nice and neat on here.
 
Worst exhibits you have seen

While many zoos across the world work hard to give animals a good exhibit, zoos ussaly have 1 or 2 outdated habitats like the monkey cages at wildlife world zoo or the bear grottos at Denver zoo. what are some bad exhibits you have seen?
 
Great zoos with awful exhibits.

Zoos are great, some more than others. Each zoo has a flaw even world class zoo struggle with 1 thing or another so that got me thinking. What great zoos have a bad or old exhibit. The only one I could think of off the top of my head is Bear canyon At henry doorly zoo. Any others?
 
Underrated Zoos

A couple that come to mind are the zoos in Santa Barbara and Providence (Roger Williams Park Zoo).
 
Underrated Zoo(s):

Rio Grande Zoo
Racine Zoo

All-Time Worst Exhibit Areas I've Seen:

Primate Area (DeYoung Family Zoo)
Small Mammals Building (Milwaukee County Zoo)
Elephant House (Smithsonian National Zoo - no longer exists)
