I spent 12 straight hours in the Georgia Aquarium. Didn't see the sun for an entire day. I collect souvenir cups at every zoo I go to; I have...
I'm very curious to know how long you would spend at Shedd Aquarium. Most ZooChatters say it's a 3 hour zoo but I've never seen it in less than 6...
Growing up going to Toledo Zoo & Aquarium, I’m a lot more used to seeing African elephants, and have seen them at 5 places compared to only 4 with...
Shedd would be a full day for me, rope-drop to close, guaranteed. Especially since it uses standard operating hours (9-5), whereas Georgia was...
As far as I know, Pittsburgh will always be denied accreditation so long as they continue to have open contact with elephants. At least that's...
I know Greenville is a small zoo, but seeing the species list laid out like this really hits that fact home. It feels all the smaller given a...

Riverbanks has loads of land. The full property is absolutely massive and stretches all the way to the botanical gardens. The problem is money and...
On the zoo's online map, it states this: "over 90 species of animals are a part of the zoo's collection", yet on exhibit there is close to 50% of...
Part 2 - KidZooU to Big Cat Falls This next part will continue our trek around the main loop and cover the exhibits you encounter when walking...
