This current plan focuses <br />on aggressively improving the "historic "zoo exhibit attractions, site circulation, and <br />visitor service facilities, while still preserving the architectural integrity of the WPA <br />era buildings and gardens. A few of the major redevelopment concepts include a <br />new children's village, a new aquarium, a new education facility ,andanexpanded <br />pachyderm trail exhibit sequence. <br />This Master Plan develops a strong new direction for the Toledo Zoo with an <br />emphasis upon quality animal exhibits and an exciting family visitor experience. <br />SAW7A I11M7i 200 1 Iv1A5l EFi PLAN <br />fit <br />
