I'm an older zoo-enthousiast (1947). Visit my first zoo in 1957, was Noorder Dierenpark Emmen with school. However we had less time for recreation while we were bookseller with 2 shops visited since then about 160 different zoos/aquariums e.d. in over 500 times. My nearest zoo is AquaZoo Friesland, Leeuwarden about 1/2 hour drive from here. Also collecter from Zoo-guides ( 1250), Maps, Postcards (more then 5000) and books. Interested in Zoohistory, todays zoos and the future of zoos.
 
Welcome. Good to know that there are other "mature" folks who are still enthusiastic about animals!
 
Wolkom ! Convinced you will enjoy the site and hopefully you can tell us something from your zoo-visits in the 1960s and 1970s because most members don't have much ( if any ) experience from those days !
