In the United States would you say this is your favorite Hippo exhibit? For me this is probably one of my all time favorite exhibits anywhere, and is my favorite hippo exhibit.
I haven't been to Busch Gardens, but for me I'd have to say that I wholeheartedly agree with you by saying that San Diego has the #1 hippo exhibit that I've ever seen. Second place would perhaps be Toledo Zoo's hippoquarium.
I have been to Busch Gardens many times and like San Diego's hippo exhibit 100 times better. At Busch Gardens there is so many tropical fish that they more often than not they obstruct the view of the hippos. Many who have seen both like Busch better. I have seen both and still like San Diego's as the best
