That changes the situation somewhat. If she was led to believe that the lions were tame then the zoo made a grave error - they have a duty towards the safety of visitors. But then again, each individual also has a responsibility towards their own safety so I would say the woman herself is not entirely without fault.

Unfortunately it seems to me that more and more we are seeing people abdicating responsibility for their own actions, a trend I don't particularly like. I wouldn't jump off a cliff if someone told me it was safe, and nor would I try to pet a lion. I check the temperature of my coffee before trying to drink it whether there is a warning on the cup or not.

I'm not saying that the zoo is not responsible in this instance, if there is no more to the story then that seems to be the case. I just don't like seeing cries of 'sue' all over the place for every little thing that goes wrong. In this case it may be justified, I'll wait to see if there's any more to the story.
