During early May of next year, I'm travelling back to California before my Japan trip with ~1 full weekday there. I'm going to be in San Francisco and I don't want to be that rushed. I'm going to revisit (after over 7+ years) San Francisco Zoo & Steinhart Aquarium (possibly Aquarium of the Bay)...
The panda project is in jeopardy according to the Zoo's CEO citing a change in city hall and national politics. Also complicating the matter, the main financial backer of the $25 million pledge might pull out support...

Following on from the brief discussion in America's Top 100 Zoos & Aquariums, I have made a sort of plan for 4/5 separate trips through the US. Of course, there will be a problem regarding cost, but at this point I guess it is best to disregard that :D

The San Francisco Zoo is a pretty great zoo, but it needs some improvement, mostly cat kingdom and bear country. Here you can post what changes you would make to the SF zoo.
