Name a zoo which no other zoochatter visited!

I guess Zoo Ave in Costa Rica, Monte Kristo Animal Park in Malta, Atlantic Marine Park (closed) in Western Australia..... but I await being corrected.
There are certainly a number of others that very few Zoochatters will have visited (Mystic Monkeys in South Africa, Zoo Simon Bolivar in Costa Rica for example - but I know at least one other ZC member has visited these)....
 
Has anyone else been to Lambton Lion Park? My father had a baboon handprint on his windscreen for a few days after the visit

Per the discussion on my zoo guidebook thread here, it seems that @NigeW also visited the collection :) I'd value your input and memories of the collection over on said thread!
 
Possibly the Lake District Coast Aquarium. While I don't know for absolutely certain whether or not other Zoochatters have been there, it looks as if I'm the only person who's ever uploaded photos from there to this site. Granted this aquarium is no Blue Planet, Sea Life or The Deep, it's a small place with not much to attract Zoonerds, but it's the closest animal collection to where I live and I've been visiting semi-regularly for years.
I almost visited a couple of years ago, I ended up stood outside of it and I almost had a spontaneous visit but my family had other ideas.
 
Back in July 2019, I had to request for a ZooChat gallery to be made for these 15 German zoos:

Affen + Vogelpark Eckenhagen
Drachenwelt Reptile Zoo
Dunnwald Wildlife Park
Gronau Zoo
Tierpark Alsdorf
Wildfreigehege Nottler Berg
Wildpark Gangelt
Wildpark Reuschenberg
Tiergehege Kaisergarten
TerraZoo
Tiergarten Monchengladbach
Tierpark Petermoor
Tierpark Strohen
Olderdissen Zoo

Gronau Zoo

Assuming TerraZoo is the one in Rheinberg, I have been there, as well as to the Tiergehege im Kaisergarten in Oberhausen (which is a little gem!), and Tiergarten Monchengladbach.


My personal best bet on a zoo that no other zoochatter has visited is Zoo al Maglio in Magliaso in Switzerland, near the Italian border. It is very much off the radar for zoochatters are the area is extremely poor in zoos in general.
 
I reckon my best shots are:

Maroparque on the island of La Palma (kinda remote, claims to be the world's only vertical zoo)
Stadtpark Erding (so small that it wouldn't be of particular interest to anyone)
Tierpark Eichholz in Germendorf (not to far from Berlin, but kinda out there)
Eselpark Nessendorf

And a zoo that I claim to know best out of all zoochatters, but I think some of you have been there:

Westküstenpark St. Peter-Ording

I've been there, and in the gallery, Vogelcommando has uploaded photos aplenty, so he's probably been there too. When I visited, all indoor areas were closed due to covid-19, so because of that I can't claim to know the zoo too well.
 
A while ago, I visited a crappy little roadside zoo in north Georgia on a family trip. The exhibits were horrifying, but they had some shocklingly rare species such as night monkeys and spotted linsang. The zoo had a drive through safari portion which seemed to be quite popular, but the walkthrough zoo area was empty.

Do you have a photo of the "linsang"? There aren't any in the USA... Night monkeys have become extremely common in roadside zoos.
 
Safari North Wildlife Park (?)(Crow Wing County, Minnesota, United States)

Not the only one as I have been here.

-Gabbert Raptor Center (St. Paul, MN)
-Shamba Safari (Neshkoro, WI)

There's also several collections I've visited that I know I am one of only two ZooChatters to have visited (with the other person being @snowleopard in all but one of those cases).

I've been to both these facilities as well. I would also guess I have also been to many of the facilities you are referring to here as being 1 of 2 zoochatters to visit based on your reviews. Definitely not all though.

Sadly,no. They claimed it was a linsang, but it was asleep during my visit, so I only got a good look at its backside.
 
I do have a photo of the night monkey though.

Was it North Georgia Wildlife Park, or Chestatee? You can PM me the location if you'd like.
