This used to be a very lushly planted swamp for alligators where you could walk out on that boardwalk. I really hope they do something to utilize this, because I hate to see such a great exhibit area sitting empty.

Unfortunately, I've heard a couple different versions of what they plan to do, and not knowing which will happen I'm going to hold off until I know a little more.
As has been stated elsewhere, this exhibit is being renovated to house American White Pelican, Chilean Flamingo, Black-Necked Swan, and Mexican Red Brocket Deer.
I was there late Saturday afternoon, two days before Labor Day, and ran by there last thing to see if the pelicans were there yet. Nothing was out yet, although the water (which I think was just filled) had green slime over the surface already. I wonder if they have a way to clean this? The bottom of the pool is all dirt, so traditional filters would be useless I presume.
