New zoos

[Meaghan Edwards]

Has anyone heard of any new zoo/animal-related attraction opening up, or in talks?

I have a brochure somewhere about a new aviary opening up in my hometown of Hamilton, but this has been in talks for some years now. I really hope they go ahead with the plans, this city could really do with a good animal attraction.

There is also talks of an aquarium of sorts situated in a ship, either in Hamilton, Niagara or Toronto.

How many times do I have to say that both these projects are on-hold and will probably never happen because neither zoo can afford to build them,before you stop posting that they are happening!!!

To be fair to Cat-man he did post planning to build these facilities. Until confirmation that these projects have been cancelled they are still in the planning stage.

I`ve been planning to build a model of a Sea Harrier from every squadron involved in the Falklands War,I`ve had the models for over 10 years but other modelling projects and other things keep getting in the way of ever starting them,just like Biota and the National Wildlife Conservation Park other things will get in the way of these projects for the foreseeable future.
