Date of Visit: July 9 2020 Ararat Ridge Zoo is located within Ark Encounter, a creationist museum located in Williamstown, Kentucky. The museum itself focuses on ways Noah could have built his ark and fed his animals (and other things along those lines). This includes a giant ark built to the...

Anello's Torch Lite is a restaurant and zoo located in Shawano, Wisconsin. The facility was originally just a restaurant, but in the late 90s a free zoo was added. Let's start in the restaurant. The food was great. There are no animals inside the restaurant, but out on the deck there is a...

The Monterey Bay Aquarium, one of the best aquariums in America, is located on 886 Cannery Row in Monterey Bay, CA. On my recent trip to the great state of California, I visited the magnificent aquarium, which is the best aquarium I've ever been to, which isn't surprising considering the facts...

Date of visit: August 9 2019 Ah, Wisconsin Dells. This wonderful town is a classic example of ecotourism gone horribly wrong. Amidst all the water parks, moose-themed restaurants, and more hotels than you can count, is a little reptile zoo. I have in the past called many of the Wisconsin...

Date of Visit: June 29 2019 The Toledo Zoo and Aquarium is an AZA-accredited facility that opened in 1900. NOTE: I attempted to keep a full species list, but due to a bit of a time crunch I was unable to obtain a full list of species in the Reptile House. I will still review this area of the...

To start off, I would like to apologize for not having species list available along with this review (I was short on time at the zoo, also was pretty lazy :(), I deeply apologize. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Louisville...

First of all, this was an amazing place. Second of all, let's get started! (that was oddly fast) Bay and Ocean Pavilion Seals Harbor Seal ----------------- I didn't see the seals, the exhibit was getting some work. ---------------- Upland River American Bullfrog Carp Yellow Perch Bluegill White...

Welcome to the Racine Zoo | racinezoo.org Date of visit: July 3 2018 Racine Zoo is a 28-acre AZA-accredited zoo located in Racine, WI. It first opened in 1923. Entrance Parking is awful. The zoo's entrance is really quite nice. There are some nice plants in well kept gardens, and an exhibit...

I’ve asked this question before, very few times actually getting a thorough answer, so I thought I’d make this thread to discuss a question that’s been on my mind for quite some time now: How come everyone loves the San Diego Zoo so much? It’s certainly a great zoo with an incredible collection...

After visiting the Cincinnati Zoo today, I am very proud to say that I enjoyed my visit immensely. After just visiting the Henry Doorly Zoo, which is rated higher than Cincinnati Zoo, I'd say that I enjoyed the Cincinnati Zoo a little more. I was so shocked to see how the zoo looked compared...

Hello all, welcome to my review of Chester zoo from my trip on the 14th of August (The day I made this thread). I had not visited the zoo since late August of 2015 after the opening of Islands, so a lot had changed and there was much for me to indulge over the course of the day. I will be doing...

Action Wildlife a 116-acre safari park located in Goshen, Connecticut, which I visited on September 18, 2016. Overall I found the park to be just okay, not something I’d rush back to, especially with the admission being around $25 per person and not the $10 advertised on their website. There...

Review of the Louisville Zoo Louisville Zoo The Louisville Zoo is situated in Poplar Level, a neighborhood region near Louisville, Kentucky. It opened in 1969, and is considered to be the “State Zoo of Kentucky.” Its claim to fame lies in recognition from the AZA for its innovation in...

On September 16, 2016, I visited this small zoo in Dutchess County, New York, and quite enjoyed myself. The zoo is only 6-acres in size and is owned and operated by the Millbrook School, making it the only zoo owned by a high school in the country (possibly the world?). The location is quite in...

Those of you who have been following my Lost in the Low Countries Thread will know of my intention to start a separate thread for Belgium, as each of the three visits are to be my first time at the zoo in question. Therefore, I will be giving each zoo a rating out of 5 at the end of each post...

This is my Chester Zoo 2017 review. This review will be slightly different from my other reviews because, after a visit to Chester, I always write a review on it about what I thought of the exhibits and animals and everything. It is a rather long review, as I love writing, especially about zoos...

So two weeks ago I went on a study tour with my uni to go and visit/compare zoos in Gran Canaria and Tenerife. The trip was five days (Monday to Friday) and over those five days we visited three zoos; two in Gran Canaria (Parque de los Cocodrilos in Aguïmes, or Cocodrilos Park as they call...
