I am anxiously waiting for the path to continue to the aquarium. I am tired of backtracking and of going by the old bear exhibits. Does the zoo have the Solarium plans done yet?
No but this is what I know so far:
There will be an indoor/outdoor orangutan area
There will also be a large Komodo dragon area.
There will then be the main building which will have the pangolins, and we believe reptiles and amphibians and probably some other stuff.
There will also be the indoor hippo exhibit in here. There are some rumors going on, all of which would be cool, but unlikely. I know nothing of the designs, but this is going to be the biggest and most expensive of all five top of the world stages
What is the 5th stage?
Mountains, and the first stage was the hospital
I never think about the hospital being part of Top of the World.
The hospital was always a part of the top of the world plan
Speaking of Stage #3, I saw on SnapChat they finally placed a shade structure over the pygmy hippo exhibit. Have they added on to the capybara/anteater exhibit?
Are you asking if they made it bigger or did you mean to say one?
Yes, they have (assuming what I saw was new).
When I was last there, neither exhibit had one.
I really don't remember but Jaharis exhibit has one

What animals are planned for the mountain exhibit?
The ones that I know about at this moment are snow leopards and spectacled bears, but as that is a while away there will most likely be more species
@Andrew_NZP did you write a review about the zoo
No. And I have no plans of writing one.
