I can't really speak as I actually haven't seen a Bonobo, but if I were you, I wouldn't call this the "best" Bonobo exhibit out there. It is great, no doubt, but you can't really speak until you've seen 'em all.

I in fact was thinking the same thing after I saw a few photos of bonobo exhibits in Europe.

Edit: as for out country though, I haven't seen a photo of one that could match this one.

Yes I have been to Columbus and I think both exhibits beat each other in many different ways. Here are two that I think are really the best.

Where are the bonobo exhibits in North America? I am aware of Cincy, Columbus, Milwaukiee, San Diego, and Jacksonville. Are there others?

Fort Worth.

Are there living trees to climb, natural ground in the indoor exhibit?

I believe a couple of small ones and one medium sized one, but the largest one (which looks very real) is the place they hang out the most. No the ground indoors is not natural.
