Favourite walk-thru exhibits?

Hey, just thought it would be interesting to see which walk-thru enclosures were people's favourites, and if anyone has any suggestions for new ones. The one that sticks in my mind most is the squirrel monkey/mara enclosure in London Zoo; it was open air and there was just a rope separating you from monkeys which came really close.
What about you guys?
 
My favourite walk through exhibit was the walk through aviary at Lowry park zoo in Tampa bay, really unusual species in this mixed aviary including African open billed stork and boat billed heron amongst the more notable birds in here, also there were enclosed aviaries for GI hornbill, toco toucan, birds of paradise (red i think) and crowned pigeon.
 
My favourite walk-through is the Trentham Monkey Forest in Stoke-on-Trent, UK.

An entire section of woodland has been fenced off and guests wander through the woods to see a troop of 150+ barbary macaques with no "proper" seperation.
 
Hard to beat Jurong's (Singapore) waterfall/monorail station aviary. Scheduled feeds for different groups throughout the day. We caught the afternoon insectivorous feed and had various glossy starlings, bee-eaters etc in large numbers around us.

Apenheul's (Holland) various walk-through primate exhibits were equally as good. Barbary macaques, wooly monkeys, lemurs, golden lion tamarins and of course the highlight was 100+ squirrel monkeys all around and over you.
