Boyd Family Asian Trek has been voted one of the top 10 zoo exhibits in the country by the USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice awards.  This marks the 5th win for Asian Trek, which features naturalistic habitats for Malayan tigers, white-naped cranes, silvered-leaf langurs and white handed gibbons.

"We consider it quite an honor that our visitors voted us among the best in the nation,” said Lisa New, President and CEO.  “Boyd Family Asian Trek was designed to be immersive and dynamic for both our guests and our animals, and the recognition is a testament to the pride our community takes in their zoo and the care we provide our animals.  We couldn’t be more grateful.”  

Reader’s Choice Awards nominees are selected by travel experts, editors from USA Today and 10Best.com, as well as other media sources and expert contributors. Winners are then selected via public voting, which occurred from Feb. 6 through March 6 this year.
