Since this last update I’ve visited many more zoos and aquariums.
December 2018
53. Cincinnati Zoo
54. Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies
55. Columbus Zoo
March 2019
56. Buffalo Zoo
August 2019 (Two days ago and today)
57. Philadelphia Zoo
58. Adventure Aquarium
Some Zoos I learned I visited when I was younger
59. Miami Seaquarium
60. Monkey Jungle
I just spent a day visiting 4 itty-bitty facilities (all in the state of Washington) that brings my all-time total to 520 zoos:
# 517 - MaST Center - Marine Science and Technology Center
# 518 - SEA Discovery Center
# 519 - Port Townsend Marine Science Center
# 520 - Bug Museum
# 517 - MaST Center - Marine Science and Technology Center
# 518 - SEA Discovery Center
# 519 - Port Townsend Marine Science Center
# 520 - Bug Museum
An overdue update:
119 (US 64). Oklahoma City Zoo
120 (US 65). Tulsa Zoo
121 (US 66). Oklahoma Aquarium
122 (US 67). Sedgwick County Zoo
123 (US 68). Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium
124 (US 69). Topeka Zoo
125 (US 70). SeaQuest Trumbull
126 (US 71). Eleanor Buck Wolf Nature Center
I'm not exactly sure how to count the Kansas Wildlife Exhibit in Wichita. It's basically a small rectangle of around 7 enclosures in the middle of a public park.

What were your thoughts on Oklahoma and Sedgwick County? They aren’t talked about much on this forum but they seem to be really good zoos.
I thought OKC was a really good zoo, although their new Asian area is a bit of a bust to me. Really solid elephant exhibit, though. I was also happy to see so many Raccoon Dogs running around (at least six). Sedgwick County I thought was just great. One of the best elephant exhibits I've ever seen and a really solid collection of species and exhibits all around. I can definitely see why people consider it a contender for America's best zoo given time.
