While the gardens and conservatory are beautiful, the zoo has left me with a pit in my stomache. The apes, lions and monkeys are kept in extremely small confines. The lions are confined to a dark room that's approximately 50 x 50 feet. This is shocking given the fact that lions travel up to 50 mph in the wild - at Como they barely have enough room to pace back and forth. I will not support this zoo again.
