It&#8217;s not even finished and it is just immense. They have an indoor desert dome and an indoor rain forest. The rain forest was big enough that you could start to forget you were in a zoo. We got to see all manner of animals and they seemed to be doing well for the most part. I even got to pet a sting ray for the first time (see video below).
