What a fabolous thread! I'm really looking forward to this and upcomming discussions and I love the engagement the CMs show with this! 
I am bad at taking photos at a zoo, so I don't have some to share yet, but:
My favourite zoo is Zoo Hannover. It is highly themed and most habitats seem to be quite up to date with animal welfare. As in every zoo their are still some places that needs improvements, but all in all it's a zoo I would recommend. It's a so called geo-Zoo, so you really feel like you are traveling the world when you visit the zoo. When I came there the first time, I was actually happy to see a german black and white cow at the end and felt "home" after that long journey
My second favourite I visited first time this week: Zoo Osnabrück. Not really themed, but they have a nice variety of animals and their habitats can be seen from different view points and are kind of interlaced. So the different sections of the habitat feel a bit small and you can see the animals up close, but since the habitat is inerlaced, the animals have actually a lot of room to wander. All habitats seemed to have quite a good variety of enrichment for them as well.
A zoo I have not yet been to, but that's definately on my dream list is of course Pairi Daiza. Everything I see and hear from it is just breath taking and in my opinion the concept is that of the future.
