Louisville is a great zoo the only thing imo holding it back is a substandard African Savannah area for its elephants,lions and much of its hoofstock.The rest of the zoo is very nice.This particular photo simply shows a small portion of the gorillas indoor bedroom.
I personally rank Louisville Zoo between #40-45 of America's best zoos. Here is a short excerpt from a much longer review of mine:
Louisville Zoo has three very good areas (The Islands, Gorilla Forest and possibly 2011’s completed Glacier Run) and many average sections that are at times pleasant and sometimes a little boring in style. There aren’t that many truly horrible cages that should be bulldozed, but there are numerous run-of-the-mill enclosures featuring ordinary animals that make this zoo nondescript and not as noteworthy as many of its more famous neighbours. It was still an enjoyable 5 hours, and it was interesting seeing a zoo once again through the eyes of an author of a zoo travel guide, but overall Louisville will fade into the background faster than many other world-class establishments.
