Name a zoo which no other zoochatter visited!

Last week I visited the Gambia Reptiles Farm and sofar it has not mentioned by any other ZooChatter so it could be that I am sofar the only one ( have planned to write a review about this collection in the near future ).
 
Oh, Horse Power in Oldsmar FL. They are a kind of odd "rescue" organization that has horses as well as a odd selection of exotics such as various lemurs, small monkeys, a host of domestics, emu, reptiles, capybara, a dromedary camel, zdonk, kinkajou, white tail deer, exotic birds, and various other small animals.

Not technically a zoo but theres a place in St. Louis called Powder Valley Nature Center which is a little educational facility about Missouri wildlife that features some live herps and fish. Never seen it mentioned on Zoochat before. Its inside a park that is a good place to see some animals in the wild like deer and turkeys. Its a pretty neat place and I recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area.

CROW wildlife rehabilitation centre in Durban? Where I accidentally forced a Blue Crane into a dead end, and was “clawed” on my back as it vaulted over me.

There are lots of wildlife parks in Europe, and interesting zoos in Asia, Africa and South America, which are completely not mentioned on this forum. Some have interesting species or exhibits. So a challenge: did anybody visit a zoo which no other zoochatter visited? Can you describe what animals are there?

Do you mean current zoos? If not, I'd guess I'm perhaps the only Zoochatter who visited the Clinch Park Zoo in Traverse City, Michigan. It frankly wasn't much of a zoo, but it was there.
 
I think the only zoos I have visited that are probably on this list are Crocoparc Agadir and especially Villate Limoune (if you consider that a zoo), both in Morocco. Tenikwa Wildlife Rehabilitation & Awareness Centre in South Africa might also make the cut if you count that as a zoo (it's more of a rescue/rehabilitation centre if I remember correctly).

Honorable mentions to the following which I'm sure only have few visitors each: Jungle Park (Tenerife), Zoo Municipal de Guadalajara (Guadalajara, Spain), Cañada Real Open Centre (El Escorial, Spain), La Vallée des Oiseaux (Agadir, Morocco).

Zoo de Rabat and COEX Aquarium are probably not on many zoochatter's lists but I'd reckon they're both way more visited than the 7 zoos I've cited above.
 
It isn't really a zoo but last time, there was this little kampong (village) like place in Singapore called the animal resort which had the usual farm animals like chickens, geese, turkeys, rabbits, guinea pigs and a horse but it also had exotic birds like parrots, peafowl, guineafowl, crowned cranes, a marabou stork and cassowaries. I visited in 2016 or 2017 i think, it was a neat little place although it was very off the beaten track. They allowed you to feed most of the animals bar the marabou stork, I got to feed the cassowary. it closed down in 2020 as they couldn't afford renewing the lease on the land so the government took it back for future construction

@Batto Today i enjoyed a great visit at reptilienzoo oberammergau. I enjoyed the great venemous snake collection and i have seen many rare species like Mangrove Snake, Indian Cobra, Puff Adder and Timber Rattlesnake. I had a nice conversation with the owner. He did show us the 3 metre Burmese Python and he said to us that the zoos Green Mamba is now over 32 years old. We did talk about european Zoos, their Reptile collections and about Animal Right Activists. I do not think that many other Zoo Chatters have been to Reptilienzoo Oberammergau. This Reptile Zoo is a must see Zoo for all Zoo Chatters in the Area.

None of the species you've mentioned is rare in captivity and the wild, even though many in situ populations of the timber rattlesnake are declining.
 
Several zoos in Peru: Cusco, Tarapoto, Tingo Maria, Quillabamba, Araquipa, Tipon. (I am sure that some zoochatters visited the zoos in Lima: Leyendas, Huachipa and maybe Granja Villa).
