Thank youWow that's a lot of zoos
more impressive since 2019 onwards when I started venturing into Europe more, I do plan on getting the German collection numbers up within the next few years.

Sadly, I have only been to 2 zoos in my life. Both in Texas, where I am from.
The Texas Zoo (Victoria, TX) - This for a school field trip, I was about 7. It didn't a big impression on me, the only animal I can even remember seeing for the first time was an alligator.
Fort Worth Zoo (Fort Worth, TX) - I still remember this trip, it was June about 2016-2017. So many animals! I was excited to see a hyena in person!

With 4 more zoos from my recent trip to Madagascar, I finally hit 300!!! Exciting moment to change my vote in this poll! Who's next haha??
I need to update my list to reflect all the additions in 2023, but even so I think I am still ten short of being able to update my vote to the bracket you just left
I *may* be able to pick up those ten over the course of this year, but it will be tricky barring any currently-unplanned visits to areas of Europe and the UK entirely unknown to me as far as zoological collections are concerned!
As of the end of 2023, I have visited 34 zoological facilities, up from 28 since my last post in this thread in June 2022 (I posted 27 because I mistakenly left off the Long Island Game Farm, which I visited as a kid). I added 6 new facilities in 2023.
**I consider the Long Island Reptile Museum to be a specialist facility rather than a museum.

Congratulations @twilighter on hitting 150 zoos after your recent trip to Asia. You've got a lot of big ones on your list, and probably no one can top your Bulgarian zoo record!
Thank you very much
I didn't realized until I started making the list that I am already on 150. Dangerous number bordering on obsession according the normal society, but an average result here Yes, my Bulgarian record is still strong and I have been to at least 4-5 more Bulgarian small "zoo places" that don't deserve mention.Is the park in Roodebeek, Belgium not essentially a petting zoo with a few aviaries?One update at the beginning of 2024

Congrats on 150! I updated my list the other day, which I hadn't done in a year and a half, and discovered I'm at 153 now
Yes, it is. I am usually skiping that type of zoos, but I stayed twice at a very nice accommodation just next to this place, visited and put it on the list.

Thank you
Congratulations to you too! I am start thinking for the next four new zoo trip
Thank you
You're going to start outpacing me now
I'm nearly out of zoos that can be done in one day/within 5 hours of me and a puppy coming this year will mean less time!
