So out of curiosity do sanctuaries count cause I'm willing to bet no one knows about valley of the kings in lake Geneva Wisconsin and trust me you don't want to. They are so far behind code and I genuinely wonder if they intentionally avoid drawing attention (weekend tours only and super hard to even get to do those) because the owners aware......
Yeah I interned there and I freely admit I reported them to authorities after I was done and had fully realized just how bad they were. Unfortunately it seems nothings changed though.

thanks for providing me my zoo list for next trip
seriously at least 4 zoos in the list i have been planned to visit in past and future trips.
p.s i have gone past Aqua Totto Gifu when im going from nagoya to takayama, so that count as sth
How is that place?
I might be the only zoochatter to have visited the Seacoast Science Center, which is a small aquarium in New Hampshire. I also might be the only zoochatter to have visited the Hudson River Park's River Project Wetlab (in New York City).

I have several reasons to believe that I am the only zoochatter who has visited Crocodile Park, a reptile zoo located in Torremolinos, Spain. Firstly, I am the only one who has posted pictures of this place on Zoochat, and secondly, it seems there are not that many Zoochat members from Spain.

I've been to SSC many a time! It's a charming place and watching them grow over the years has been just wonderful
They are all three closed now, but I’d be surprised if anyone ever visited (in the late 1970’s/mid-1980’s) the following New England zoos:
1. New London Zoo in Bates Woods Park, New London Connecticut. Acceptable Deer and Elk enclosures…hideous pretty much anything else.
2. Mohegan Park Zoo in Mohegan Park, Norwich Connecticut. Not good all around…Monkeys in terrarium type box exhibits and two Wolves endlessly pacing in a corn crib cage. The Whitetail Deer were enclosed in a multi-acre fenced woodlot along the park road. This was a time when Whitetail Deer were just rebounding in south-eastern Connecticut and were not yet commonly observed. Years later this area was the last remnant of the zoo and when the city proposed simply releasing the deer, the state would not allow it due to concerns the animals were severely inbred and possibly hosting disease.
3. Houlton Game Farm. Houlton Maine. I remember a large enclosure for Bison, a Lion in a dimly lighted wood and wire cage, and a Moose calf wandering around the gift shop. Not much else that I remember.
4. I’m sure I’m not the only one…but I imagine not many of us visited Benson’s Wild Animal Park in Hudson, New Hampshire. I remember quite a bit about this zoo. Most distinctively how beautiful the North Chinese Leopard was. I had no idea this subspecies existed and was taken by both the color and nature of it’s coat in contrast to other Leopards I’d seen at that young age.

New additions are Karatay Zoo and Keçiören Aquarium.
Jack R. Facente Serpentarium and Sanctuary Aquatics, both in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Yes, once. Do you by any chance have a photo of the exterior of the building?
Could this have been Grahame Dangerfield's place at Redbourn, which is near Wheathamstead, before he moved to the Verulamium Zoo in St, Albans in the mid 1960s?
