    Big Cats is the large exhibit and building that houses the lions and tigers. There are many indoor and outdoor locations to observe the cats. Some of the exhibits have floor to ceiling windows where you can get up and close and personal to the cats. Make sure to stop by this exhibit when you tour the zoo.

    We were lucky enough to to be around when the lions began playing around and started roaring. Quite a sound, would need a clean pair of shorts if I heard that in the wild.

    3/2021 Who does not love to see the big cats? Of course we all do! This is a fun exhibit and we love seeing them outside. Snow Leopards are one of our favorites for sure!
