What exhibits you know that are unique in design, and could be an example for other zoos to follow?

There is lots of talk that zoos have become homogenous and copy each other exhibits. What zoos might copy in the next years?

An example from the past decades is that Apenheul zoo built a very popular walkthru exhibit with squirrel monkeys. It was at least 20 years before another zoo copied it. Now there are many walkthru squirrel monkey exhibits in Europe and Asia. I wonder what innovative types of exhibits exist now?
 
One trend that has been increasing in popularity is the idea of having paths that animals can take out of their exhibits or between multiple habitats.
