    Yes the Aquarium and Reptile Complex, Birdhouse at Riverbanks, Western lowland gorilla exhibit, and Sea Lion Landing are the highlights of this pleasant but oddly organized facility. I should mention that the garden part of the place is an attractive area of a formal garden and educational nature play areas, all located across a long pedestrian bridge over a river.
