And the aquarium? Why spend time on something you can get at home?
Your point about the zoo is pretty much what I was trying to say upthread. In general, the animals are just plain sad,... but they do have Pandas.
As for the aquarium, I'd also pass on the BJ aquarium in a heartbeat. However, I simply adore the Shanghai Aquarium.
