I've never visited zoos outside of the United States, but Minnesota Zoo is probably the best I've been to.
Though it is literally impossible to rank them, my top 10 are definitely Bronx zoo, San Diego ZSP, San Diego zoo, Disneys animal kingdom, ZooMontana, Queens zoo, Smithsonian national zoo, Philadelphia zoo, NY aquarium, and the Clearwater marine aquarium.
Out of interest, why CMA? They have a nice mission with being a rescue facility, but as far as design and size I personally would rate it rather low.
