It may be big, but we’re near as big as the other ones I mentioned.

Yep, Yep. I voted Minnesota dont worry.
By the way, my vote is for San Diego.
Safari park or zoo?
Zoo
Why not Safari Park? I could understand the opening exhibit but now with fence in the middle it just isn't as great
There's an "Other" option for that kind of thing.
It looked really nice to me, but I haven't been there and you probably know better. My vote goes to Nashville now.
The main problem is a large fence that splits it in the middle and the loss of some of the water features. If you go further back into the thread I posted some good pictures of the Safari Parks exhibit that I believe out does the zoos because it's much large and very natural but you can make your own decision.
Ok I'm going to be kill joy here. I have seen Cleveland's Tiger exhibit several times. While it is indeed fresher than older moat enclosures of the past, the spaces are smaller than the previous yards. The present yards are smaller and indeed up close and personal via glass viewing, over head walks, and netting. The exhibits are more up close and personal settings and not area's where tiger can readily hide out of viewing amongest dense vegetation. They took over walk concept done at Jacksonville Tiger enclosure and expanded it. Hands down the Cleveland Tiger Passage is so much better than Denver's Amur Tiger fish tank concept ( where cats are held in large glass titled enclosures with fencing seen behind them, it looks almost like a giant fish tank concept holding tigers with little place to hide out of public view).
More pictures of Rosebrough Tiger Passage at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Tigers change yards via overhead trails above the visitors paths.
I'd go with the Safari Park, That said, Knoxville's new tiger exhibit was pretty good. Head and shoulders above their old one.

I agree, I voted for it, it is really an excellent exhibit. By the way I mean the one on the monorail.

What do people think of the new tiger exhibit at Fort Worth Zoo now that the Predators exhibit has opened? I haven't gotten to see it yet.
