Searched around to see if there was a similar thread, and when I didn't find one, I thought I'd make one up.

There's always been some zoos that I've always wanted to visit, either for years or even the past little while I've been here at ZooBeat, and I'm certain there are those who have also have a "I want to go there" list, so I thought, why not? :)

Here's my (incomplete) list that also includes sanctuaries and aquariums:

-San Diego Zoo
-International Wolf Center
-Wolf Park
-Wolf Haven
-Sedgwick County Zoo
-San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park
-Bronx Zoo
-Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum
-Calgary Zoo
-Monterey Bay Aquarium
-Singapore Zoo
-Australia Zoo (and many other Australian zoos/animal collections great and small that are discussed here, such as Melborne, Taronga)
-Chester Zoo
-Monkey World
-Skegness Seal Sanctuary
-Dingo Sanctuary (not a zoo per se, but I love, love Dingoes and all canids)
-Durrell Zoo
-Edinburgh Zoo
-Highland Wildlife Park

I haven't even began to think of the zoos from other European countries yet, so many to chose from!

I must confess I had to do a double take when I read down Meaghan's list. Some really big hitters in the zoo world there, the places you would expect someone to travel around the world for. And then came Skegness seal sanctuary. Don't get me wrong Skegness Natureland does sterling work with injured and orphaned seals, that are found along the North sea coast. But I would never have expected it to be in a "must visit" list along side Bronx etc...
I've been visiting since I was a child and now I take my son when we visit the coast. Apart from the work with seals it is a very basic and small collection: few penguins in a small pool, domestic animals - goats etc, chipmonks, butterfly house, small reptile collection and a small aqurium.
 
Still missing on my list are Zoo Entebbe, Nordens Ark, Al-Wabra, Parc Zoologique et Botanique de Tsimbazaza, Zoo Moscow & Zoo Nowosibirsk, Noumea Zoo & Aquarium, the Valencia Aquarium in Venezuela (as well as various other South American zoos), the Kula Eco Park and the big Japanese Aquariums. And even if this might sound stupid to Australian members: Perth Zoo (always wanted to see a numbat)...;)
 
San Diego Zoo
San Diego Wild Animal Park
Berlin Zoo
Beijing Zoo ( for their Black Snub Nosed Monkey )
Singapore Zoo
Singapre Bird Park.

It is a short list, but it is easier for me to focus on.

Monterey Bay Aquarium
Denver Zoo
Georgia Aquarium
Disney's Animal Kingdom
