Toucans in North American Zoos

Bright's Zoo has Black necked aracari and Virginia Safari Park has Channel-billed toucan
 
I can confirm San Diego has the Plate Billed Mountain Toucan, it’s on exhibit in the Parker Aviary in the fenced off section. It was recently cleared of some foliage, allowing for more visual access of the section.

Bronx no longer holds Crimson-Rumped Toucanet or mountain-toucan but does hold a single Keel-Billed Toucan.

As for Emerald Forest, their website is extremely out of date if that's what you used. When I visited in early 2018 several of those toucan species were no longer held. At that time, they held the following species:
-Black-Throated Toucanet (ssp. dimidiatus)
-Blue-Throated Toucanet (nominate)
-Black-Billed Toucanet
-Chestnut-Tipped Toucanet (1.0)
-Emerald Toucanet (nominate)
-Crimson-Rumped Toucanet
-Black-Necked Aracari (ssp. atricollis)
-Ivory-Billed Aracari (ssp. mariae)
-Saffron Toucanet
-Curl-Crested Aracari
-Chestnut-Eared Aracari (nominate)
-Fiery-Billed Aracari
-Humboldt's Aracari
-Collared Aracari (nominate)
-Green Aracari
-Chestnut-Mandibled Toucan
-Keel-Billed Toucan
-Toco Toucan
-Red-Billed Toucan
-Channel-Billed Toucan
-Spot-Billed Toucanet
-Guianan Toucanet
-Green-Billed Toucanet

Indeed. I saw Choco Toucans there in the mid-1990s but I believe they have been gone from there for quite a while now. Besides this place is not a zoo but more of a breeding facility.
 
AFAIK Minnesota Zoo doesn't have Keel-Billed Toucan anymore. I haven’t seen them since 2017 & they were taken off of the zoos website ages ago.
