The best one I saw is Frankfurt's (at least the indoor part). Prague is also very nice, as is Gelsenkirchen.
 
In the old Ape house at Chester in the early 60's,Jimmy the larger male used to regularly wade out from his iisland ,earthing out the electric fence with bulrushes and stand amongst the public until Ziggy the ape keeper chased him back. Water moats are fine if designed properly.

Yes, the female Gorilla 'Gogal' also waded in the moat there too. But Chester also lost a young Orang by drowning too- in the 'newer' Orangutan house- now closed/offshow.
