The Living Coral exhibit sounds like a nice one with a selection of coral. The Amazon exhibit sounds like a great multi species showcase. I have not visited this facility but hope to soon!
Idk about the cassowaries, but the pygmy hippos just recently moved in so they weren't there in Feb/March 2020 when @nczoofan probably visited.
