A number of changes/renovations will possibly be happening at the Louisville Zoo in the future (elephants, penguins, snow leopards, primates) but even with doubling the size of the elephant exhibit it will still be subpar in my personal opinion: Zoo plan calls for elephant exhibit renovation
Louisville Zoo 2014 Master Plan With almost over 300 species of monkeys worldwide both Old World and New World Louisville decides to go with yet another Colobus exhibit (YAWN).It sure would be nice to get more diversity in the states. We are most excited about the 3 million dollar Snow Leopard exhibit. We agree with Snowleopard that the Elephant renovation most likely will not be enough and is a total waste of money. Team Tapir223

The zoo planned on offering camel rides this year, but decided to postpone this until next year. Zoo camel rides for the kids? Not this year
Anyone sure what all will be included in the new elephant renovation and if it looks like it's sticking to more of an Asian or African theme? I applaud their work also but I'm doubting this renovation will put them on the map for top rated elephant facilities correct?
