There have been a lot of new and amazing exhibits opened since this thread was started 3 years ago, that I am sure would be on a lot of peoples' lists today. Of the new ones I've seen recently:

Zambezi River Hippo Camp - Memphis Zoo
Mary K Chapman Rhino Reserve - Tulsa Zoo

Not really a zoo exhibit, but the Cool Zoo water park in the middle of the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans that incorporates the elephant exhibit into the water park by having the elephants' pool next to the water park. I was told the elephants will occasionally get in the pool and spray the kids in the water park. (Probably on cue from the keepers).
