I've been to both, and I can confirm this. I think the art museum is definitely leagues above what you'd expect, and the zoo was named Best Zoo in America in 2014 by USA Today, according to Wikipedia. IIRC, they were also the first zoo in the US to exhibit giant pandas, which no zoo in the world can get ahold of except on loan from China.
