Indian Gharials

Easily the best gharial enclosure in the country imo. While Fort Worth has the best from a visitor perspective, this one successfully mixes them with a large variety of fishes, turtles, birds, gibbons, and small mammals while also offering some terrain differences instead of just a flat beach area (which it also has). The animals above climbed all the way down the series of waterfalls in the enclosure to reach the bottom pool (main viewing is at the top).

@Ebirah766 I haven't heard that before, and I would be surprised considering gharials are mainly piscivores and the few small bird species present here never hung out by the gharial pool even before they were added. Zooplantman would likely know more than I, though.
