If you enjoy waiting for a tram the Cleveland Zoo is for you. We waited 35 minutes for the tram which was recommended to us so we did not have to walk up a steep hill. Some visitors elected to walk and showed the effects from the climb. At the end of the tram ride is the Africa exhibit which took us 20 minutes to walk through the area. We then waited 25 minutes for the return trip on the tram. The next stop was the North American exhibit which was only accessible by tram because of construction, this was again a 30 minute wait. The exhibit was interesting and took about 30 minutes to view and you guessed it we then waited 25 minutes for the tram. When you do the math 2 hours waiting and less than 1 hour viewing you must question going to the zoo. If you are tired of cutting the grass the zoo has an elephant that would be happy to help, providing you have a lot of dandelions which the elephant loves. The multi- leveled Rain Forest Building (where the Orangutans are housed) was very enjoyable and would make visiting the zoo worthwhile because you did not have to wait for the tram.
