I'm on 76 zoos, with 27 in NZ, eight in Australia, six in Singapore and the rest in Europe. 42 of these I have seen only in the last year. Hopefully I will add another couple of NZ institutions to the list this year.

What are the 6 zoos in Singapore that you visited? I can only think of Jurong and the Zoo. :confused:

Or check the ZooChat galleries. :D

(even if a couple shown there are, I think, a little pre-emptive!)

Yes, and just cos I peeked over the zoo fence and saw the construction work doesn't mean I counted River Safari.:D

I will put my list up in a minute, on the thread Chlidonias linked. Well I was going to, but that thread is now closed... wait, Maguari has found its sequel: http://www.zoochat.com/2/my-zoo-list-2-a-239903/index8.html


P.S. I am up to 77 now, I just remembered a small Queensland park I visited.
 
yes sorry about that :D

I have edited the earlier post for the correct link now
 
I'm surprised so many people keep an accurate record, I guess I am around the 60 - 70 ish mark taking all into account over time.

Wot, no spreadsheet? :D
 
My daughter will be 3 years old in September and by her 3rd birthday she will have visited slightly more than 100 different zoos and aquariums just in the United States. She probably won't even remember any of them when she is older!:)
 
Just back from Alaska where i visited 3 zoos and aquariums taking me to 592 collections.Russia next month.
 
Not a huge sum but I've done at least 47 UK collections and 3 foreign collections [Loro Parque, Parque de las Aguilias and Palmitos Park]. May have done more that I don't remember, seem to remember a collection in Majorca but no idea if I'm confusing it with something else.

Now I'm working I'm waiting on AG's passport to hopefully visit some more foreign collections.

It is much easier to rack up zoo visits in Europe than in the USA - There are 127 animal collections of one sort or another within 100km of Cologne, for example, and while many of these will be fairly inconsequential, many will not.

That is amazing. I don't think that there are 127 animal attractions in California, possibly on the whole west coast of the U.S.
 
With 43 votes so far (at the time of this post), 100 plus is clearly in the lead. I must admit, I am quite surprised by this.
 
Javan Rhino..there is a poor safari park in Majorca[plus a decent aquarium and a dolphinarium] but no zoo as such[tho the safari park had a walk-around portion].Perhaps that will free your memory!Overall re.counting up the collections there is little alternative other than time and determination/enthusiasm to see the world and its zoos[a bit of money helps too].

It wasn't a safari park, but I could very easily be getting it confused - all I remember is Humboldt penguins.

Now I'm working it will be a matter of time, but things do seem to have come to a standstill as we wait on birth certificates to send of with AG's passport application.
