We continue to agree to disagree on this point though I would argue that surely the indoor tiger exhibit is a good one, even if you dislike the others?

Yes, those didn't seem bad. Though the central walkthrough part was the only enclosure in this building that I actively liked.
(Though although I didn't like most of the enclosures, there were lots of really cool species that I would of course not want to be lost!)

The indoor moated enclosures are good relative to many big cat indoor enclosures in Europe, but as I hope LD will confirm, on the day of our visit the Lion's indoor enclosure was their only enclosure, as the medium sized outdoor moated enclosure (which are good) on that side had tigers (Malayan?) in it. And although on the other side both the indoor and outdoors had tigers, I've got a nasty suspicion they were different groups.
The splitting of the ABH's outdoor and indoor exhibits makes bad enclosures worse and good ones bad.
Having said all of that, zoos over this end of the world have really given me a different scale for judging exhibits, I suspect I will be a lot kinder the next time I am in Berlin!
