the largest walk-through natural habitat zoo is the North Carolina zoo.
The largest metropolitan zoo is the Bronx zoo in New York City.
The zoo with the largest animal population is the San Diego Zoo.
The largest indoor zoo is probably the US Capital or the Pentagon.

I'm pretty sure that's correct.

In 1860, the first U.S. zoo opened in New York's Central Park. Almost 150 years later, there are over 200 zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, and many other non-accredited animal collections. At
their best, zoos allow us to glimpse animals in habitats that mimic their natural environment. Recent advances in zoological studies have emphasized the role zoos can play in the conservation of endangered species.

The largest metropolitan zoo in the United States, the Bronx Zoo sits on 265 acres of parklands and natural habitats, has more than 4,000 animals, and welcomes over 2 million visitors each year. Last year a Madagascar habitat opened, which showcases the exotic wildlife (lemurs, hissing cockroaches, and tomato frogs to name a few) and bizarre landscapes (a dry forest, an underwater cave, a desert, and a rainforest). Other notable features are the Congo Gorilla Forest, which is the largest rainforest ever built and the tiger enrichment sessions at Tiger Mountain, where you can watch these amazing cats jump, dive and do puzzles.
