I loved this exhibit when I visited 8 years ago!

Do you have any of the gorilla and chimp exhibits? Oh do you have ones of the elephant exhibit as well?

I have to disagree with okapikpr here. I have seen both too in the past year and I think San Diego's hands down is way better. There are way too many fish in the Busch Gardens display. So many that it can be challenging at times. I also thought the Hippo habitat in San diego was much larger. At first sight the Busch Gardens display looks like a tropical fish exhibit. San Dieo's just has tilapia giving un unobstructed view of the River Hippos. Not to mention, I think San Diego's is just all the way around better.
