My personal favorite I've seen is Omaha. Looking further, doesn't Le Parc des Felines have a very large exhibit?
I would second that! I was very impressed by Omaha’s exhibit when I was there in October (although I unfortunately didn’t see any Lions on exhibit). The viewing was fantastic, and the size of the enclosure is nothing to scoff at. The massive Kopje was also a nice touch. Although Lion Camp at SDZSP is a close second for me.
Wuppertal has a giant hillside, about a hectare of exhibit. And a good indoors viewing, which is designed to be one with the outdoors - you wander between rocks and imperceptibly switch from viewing lions outdoors and indoors.
Good are Beauval, viewable from below with a glass roof on which lions can stand; and Doue with weirdly deep moats, but great views of lions against the sky.
I liked also Basel, which exhibit looks like an actual South African bush, not like an European grass lawn. And lions seem always just behind the viewing glass.

Columbus’s exhibit is to narrow for my liking. It’s not bad by any means, but I don’t think it’s the “best in the world”
