Axe Valley (first time)
Noah’s Ark Zoo Farm
SEALife Birmingham (first time)

I visited 5 zoos this year, including 3 new ones.
These are Scovill Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, Shedd Aquarium, Memphis Zoo, and Dallas World Aquarium. Cincy, Memphis, and DWA were new.

This list is different from the zoos I normally visit, so I hope to return to those this year. I think I'll be able to visit more zoos this year as well.

I visited 8 collections including 5 that were new to me.

I didn’t leave the area around my town in northern Sweden at all for first half of the year so no zoo visits.

I got to visit some zoos once travel recommendations were relaxed in the summer and went to Järvzoo, Borås Zoo and Nordens Ark.

A summer visit to family in the Netherlands took me to Blijdorp, Sea Life Scheveningen, Kerkrade and across the border to Antwerp.

I also went to Edinburgh Zoo towards the end of the year.
 
As already told in another thread ( Vogelcommandos anniversary - post # 36 ) I made 11 visits to 10 different zoos in 2 countries of which 2 were new to me :

- Zie-ZOO
- Berkenhof's Tropical Zoo
- Avifauna
- Squirrel Experience Etten Leur
- De Bosruiter
- Zoo Plzen ( a new one for me )
