Going to this zoo you definitely get your money's worth. The wait in line is usually short, and there is a huge variety of different exhibits to go to that are all fun. The polar bears and elephants are two of the favorite exhibits, and there are many more to see (although they don't have as many animals as bigger zoos). To top it all off, the zoo is in a beautiful setting in Portland and is well kept. The only downfall is the parking, which is limited depending on the crowd. The layout can be a little confusing at times, but well illustrated maps solve that problem. The only advice is to wear comfortable shoes because you will surely be doing a lot of walking.
