What’s your favourite zoo

I'm always gonna have a soft spot for Franklin Park - the zoo I've been going to since I was a baby, and always make the time to visit at least once or twice a year.

However, I'd be lying if I said the Blijdorp in Rotterdam wasn't a heavy contender for the favorite spot. While I've only visited it once (back in 2019), I was just completely blown away by everything it had to offer, be it the exhibitry, the gardens, the animal collection, etc. Granted, I have been reading a lot of how the zoo's been looking to downsize their collection as of late, but even them I'm still hoping to go back some day.

I've also had fond memories of visiting the Bronx Zoo as a kid, but I haven't been since 2006, so I might have to visit again to have a more updated opinion.
 
I’d say the phoenix zoo is my favorite park since it has a wide variety of species, the arizona trail could easily be one of those arizona rescues or arizona species only zoo’s on its own, the savanna would probably need the assistance of everything else due to it mainly being either really small or giant exhibits, the tropics trail feels like it could be a small local zoo with an added children’s zoo. It’s that big. I believe possibly not as big as the wildlife world as wildlife world felt like it had more animals and exhibits though.
 
Whipsnade, UK. My childhood zoo. Still magical, and free roaming mara and wallabies make the world a better place :)
 
Blackpool Zoo is my favourite for standard ABC animals, and the Lakeland Wildlife Oasis is my favourite for more obscure animals you don't see in many other zoos.
 
I've worked at a few zoos, I'd say Singapore Zoo is probably the best Zoo in the world (although I haven't worked there)
 
I am also a big fan of Disney’s Animal Kingdom, even though it isn’t my favorite zoological facility (for that title goes to Zoo Miami).

Not in the world, but almost certainly the best in Asia.

Have you been there since the new updates & construction aswell as the addition of the new Mandai Bird Park aswell as the new herpetological facilities which are the most up-to-date (newest out of basically any collection) There is currently a total of 4 Zoo's in one zoo, making it one of the largest collections. There is a huge variety of conservation projects and behind the scenes stuff. All of its facilities are the most up to date I've seen out of any zoo with the ongoing funding and literally unlimited budget compared to other zoos.

I have never been there, but I know enough to know the zoo is far from the best in the world - though certainly a very good zoo. You said Singapore Zoo, not all of the Singapore parks combined. Combined, they very well might be the best in the world, but that's not the claim you made.

All good - The collection of four zoos is called The Mandai Wildlife Reserve, made up of The Mandai Bird Park (Brand new), River Safari, Singapore Zoo, Night Safari
