trip

During April 17th-20th of next year, I'm travelling to California for 3 (possibly 3.5 days). I'm going to be in San Francisco and I don't want to be that rushed. For the Friday & Saturday, I'm likely going to San Diego Zoo (any layout/paths for each day?) and then on Sunday, I'm going to another...

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)...

Hello all, After years of living in California and not getting to really explore the Bay Area much, I am planning on knocking out all the places I haven't seen around there (as well as repeat visits to the couple I have been to, both years ago). These include: - Oakland Zoo - San Francisco Zoo...

Hello! I am in Dallas currently, and I plan to on Sunday to visit the Dallas World Aquarium and one of the two zoos within a single day. I am more interested to visit Fort Worth Zoo, but at Dallas it’s a lot closer and easier to do, and their Africa and reptile house seem phenomenal. I’m pretty...

Hello! Currently, I am in the process of planning a trip to the Dallas area for 4-5 days at the end of March. I am unsure of what facilities I’d visit due to this being a trip to visit relatives. Of the facilities I’ve observed, I think it’s likely I’ll do the Dallas World Aquarium and possibly...

Hello zoo chatters! I will be visiting Singapore this March, and while there are many other threads like this, I would just like to make one exclusively for this trip. This will be an only-zoo-and-nature-reserve/park trip, and I will only visit the local area or landmarks if there is time. I...

Hi Zoochatters! I’m going on a small zoo trip for just over a week in early March, to Spain and Germany. My itinerary currently looks like this: Saturday 2nd – Arrive in Madrid, do non-zoo things in the late afternoon/evening Sunday 3rd – Zoo Madrid Monday 4th – Faunia Madrid Tuesday 5th – Fly...

Hi guys! I'm heading to Edinburgh on Thursday, arriving at lunchtime and staying till Saturday. I know it's a short trip but I would like to make the most of my trip. Of course, as I'm on this site, I'll be visiting the zoo but I would also love to see some other places. So, for a wildlife...

Hi all, I'm visiting Europe for (basically) the first time in July and will be touring London, Amsterdam and Prague for around 10 days. Many non-zoo trips planned, but I'm hoping to visit at least one facility, possibly two. I'm almost completely unfamiliar with European zoos, but have taken a...

Hey all, Since I have been to Cyprus a fair few times now in just about every time of year, I figured I'd write up a guide on visiting the place, with extra info on zoos and on birding. It's quite long so I've split it into the relevant sections to make it more manageable to read. Hopefully if...

In early fall of 2021, I took a trip out west to what is often considered the "Mount Rushmore State," South Dakota. It was an awesome and fun-filled time, checking out some of the most iconic monuments and most beautiful slices of nature around. Of course, the famous Mount Rushmore and the...

I am planning a trip to Texas next fall 2022 and was debating on which zoos, facilities, and places to visit. Never been to the state other than stopping at DFW for connecting flights. I know for a fact that my #1 zoo to visit list is Fort Worth. They have 3 flamingo species, Storm’s Storks...

Hello world of Zoochat! I’m lucky enough to be joining a friend on a last minute tour in Uganda later in January. Being so close to Kenya it was too tempting not to add on! I fly into Nairobi the night of February 3rd and fly out early on February 14th so the tour would be February 4th-13th. I...

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 Anyways, here are the 5 trip plans: Day...

Okay, okay, I'm going to stop right there because I am terrible at making jokes or executing punchlines. What is this all about then? Well, at the end of November I visited some German and Dutch zoos for work-related reasons. Even before I came back, I already knew that I have to make a trip...

Of course, I am talking about Germany, specifically Berlin. I am travelling with my family so I am limited to one day at each zoo which I have already been told probably isn't enough but I can make compromises and priorities. I am arriving on the evening of the 18th but I leave in the afternoon...

Hi there, I'm currently in the process of planning a trip to Duisberg zoo (in part to see their river dolphin!). Which other zoos are worth travelling to from here? Current plan is to stick around Germany/the Netherlands but I am open to ideas :) Are there any other local zoos with rare wildlife...

Personal Background For those who don’t know I’m going to start off with a little about my personal circumstances. It will help explain how, why and when I travel. As my location shows I currently live in China, but I’m actually from the UK. For the past two years, and hopefully several more...

Hello everyone, I've been busy the last few months trying to plan a trip to Chester zoo with my school, and I've looked at the website but I still want to know a little bit more, if I do get to go. So I need a hand, what tips do you have for me, anythings I should be weary of, and most of all...

Ok so currently I'm planning a trip to Chester with a friend of mine (other Zoochatters are welcome along obviously!) but I've never been before. I've looked it up and seen The Secret Life of the Zoo and read other people's thoughts on the zoo on here, but I was wondering whether there's any way...
