So far this year I have seen two of best jaguar exhibits anywhere. Both places are in Florida, Jacksonville and Miami. Other average exhibits at St. Louis, Omaha, Wichita. Philadelphia Zoo's big cat exhibit is excellent for all the animals in there including the jaguar. Toronto zoo exhibit is nice as well.

any thoughts elsewhere?
 
Woodland Park's Jaguar Cove in Seattle is the #1 exhibit I've ever seen for those cats. There are probably over 100 photos of the enclosure in the gallery if you are willing to look through the many pages of photos. Or you could type in "Jaguar Cove" in the search gallery. I think that Jacksonville is a close second...
 
I have heard that about Seattle's jaguar cove and plan on visiting this year. Anyplace else you have heard about in US?
 
Here are 4 photos of Jaguar Cove in Seattle:

Here is a thread on the best jaguar exhibits in North America, where I actually rated Jacksonville's slightly ahead of Woodland Park. They are both brilliant, but others that are above average are Miami, Oklahoma City, Memphis, etc.

Thanks. I agree with your comments on jacksonville and miami...hope to see the others too. Akron Zoo just had three jaguar cubs born this year. For a small zoo the exhibit is adequate but with the success they have had with breeding jaguars you would expect them to build a bigger exhibit for the 5 jaguars they have.

well it's my personal favourite and is widely regarded as the best in the UK and one of Europe's leading zoos. It also draws the most annual zoo visitors in the UK. You would need to ask someone who has visited a number of the top zoos though for a more balanced comparison though.

The UK Zoo Review: CHESTER ZOO

This is a review I did, so it should give you some idea of the zoo, but the many photos in Zoochat's gallery should give you a better picture
