Hello, I went there with my family (we had no choice) and I found the enclosures much too small. How can a hippopotamus have a pool that's the right size for it? I don't understand; it needs more species, it's not right. The snakes are the same; they're enclosed between four small panes of glass.

I wanted to take my children to the zoo but it was closed every time. Is it open again now?
