Inspired by the Best UK enclosure polls by @britishzoofan, I will make several polls to determine the best US enclosures for animals. The subject: Gorillas. Feel free to do so. You can also list the enclosures you feel are best in order. Unlike the UK polls though, I will only give you 5 options each.

(Note: Photos for Bronx, DAK, Memphis & Atlanta Photos were taken by @snowleopard, and Dallas photo was taken by @jbnbsn99. So credit to them.)

(Note 2: I have no camera, and the one camera i have is my computer.)

(Note 3: The only Zoos i've been to are Detroit, Columbus, Toledo & John Ball.)

(Note to Mods: I really hope you guys are okay with this.)

I'm going for Bronx for this poll. Looking at a video on Youtube it looks incredible. Added with the fact that they have three generations of Gorillas and a large habitat, Bronx gets my vote for sure.

EDIT: Forgot to mention in the original post, I'll be putting up a new poll everyday and voting for one poll ends in five days.
 
Here's some photos of Dallas. There's two separate yards, on either side of the viewing room with the sofas (and the A/C!!!). On my visit most of the gorillas were out, but it was a while before I spotted one in the vegetation.

I made an error on the title. I meant to say if you want to make an argument on a certain exhibit, feel free to do so.
 
I think that Houston definitely deserves a spot on this poll. It is massive, has many trees and plants, and has an interesting mix with the red river hogs. Riverbanks zoo also has a fantastic exhibit as well(as mentioned by @Zooplantman ) but as for my personal favorite, It has to go to the Bronx. There gorilla exhibit is huge with plenty of trees and climbing structures for the gorilla ps, and plenty of viewing opportunities for the visitors. Congo gorilla forest in general is a great exhibit.
