Where are the great zoo entrance animal exhibits and what makes them so?

Many zoos have rebuilt or are rebuilding their entrance areas to make them more user-friendly and attractive for visitors.

Some zoo entrances feature animal exhibits that immediately connect people with animals and immerse them in the zoo experience.

I was curious what zoo entrance animal exhibits have really grabbed people's attention and what species, themes, and types of exhibits are being used in the modern zoo world.

The San Francisco Zoo rebuilt their entry complex a few years back and included a large African savanna exhibit that can be seen from the front parking lot. Giraffes and zebras are magnets to draw people into the zoo.

The Minnesota Zoo recently opened an African penguin exhibit as their entry complex magnet. The snow monkeys are nearby. Active, social animals seem to be their entry exhibit theme.

What is your favorite zoo entry exhibit and what makes it attractive to you?
