I visited back when only phase one was open because at the time they had a king cheetah. I had contacted the zoo prior to my visit and the arranged for my cousin and I to meet the head keeper to get photos and tour behind the scenes of the cheetah exhibit. One of my most memorable zoo experiences.
@Mobelle What was the original part of River's Edge that opened in 1999? The elephants, rhino/hyena/cheetah complex, hippo exhibit, and Missouri cave?
