trip report

Pili Palas Nature World is a small tropical zoo near Menai Bridge on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales. The facility’s main attractions include a butterfly house, a collection of rehomed parrots, and two reptile rooms. Perhaps most interestingly to zoo-goers, the zoo participates in the red...

If an American high schooler is to find themself so lucky after graduation, they’ll be honored with the duty to plan their very own summer vacation as a reward for years of hard work and dedication. For me, in the midst of my pomp and circumstance, this only meant one thing: zoos. California...

The Buttonwood Park Zoo is a 7-acre zoo located on the outskirts of New Bedford, Massachusetts. The zoo and the park in which it resides are both named after Buttonwood Brook—a body of water that runs through both places. It takes around 2 hours to experience the zoo, but there’s more than just...

Hey all, I've hinted at it over the course of many small updates throughout the year at various facilities around the country, but here it finally begins, my year end review of a good amount of zoos or aquariums throughout the year. If you've paid attention to the board this past year, you might...

This is an exhibit-by-exhibit walkthrough account of ZSL London Zoo, my home zoo. It will not be in as much detail as, say, my Burgers' review, as this is a collection with which I am extremely familiar and I will not need to waste time on first impressions. It will also be arranged by exhibits...

Today, we got off to spring break and my family is driving to Virginia Beach for the next week. I'll try to visit the zoo and aquarium, but I posted it in the Zoo Cafe because I'll try harder to see and photograph wildlife. If any VA locals could post some species to look out for, that'd be...

I visited the Akron Zoo for the first time this past Saturday. While it may not be the biggest zoo in the world (quite small actually) it does have some first rate exhibits and animals. Actually, there were a few exhibits that I felt were the closest I had ever gotten to those animals before...

With a couple of days stop-over in Singapore I made a long-overdue re-visit to Singapore Zoo. I’ve been to Singapore many times and to the Jurong Bird Park about six times but for some reason I’ve only ever been to the zoo once and that was back in 2004 so it was definitely time to go back and...
