According to 10Best, Rocky Mountain Wild is one that you cannot afford to miss, as the " 3-acre exhibit is home to moose wandering amid pine woods with their own small lake, mountain lions in a naturalistic rock canyon, the elusive Canada lynx, river otters playing in a waterfall and grizzly bears roaming the mountainside."
