I'm confused... It's clear, from the information presented, that this was a place which badly needed to be shut down, but their USDA APHIS...
Of all the animal species I've had the pleasure of direct interaction with, over 43 years (not a typo) worth of visiting zoos and oceanariums,...
I'd like to hear from anyone who's done any of the animal encounters (the paid/premium experiences) the zoo offers, particularly if you've done...
I found a couple of chucklers in the descriptive text on the Alameda Park Zoo (New Mexico) web site. The gaffes appear here in italics (my...
I won't say my lady and I travel somewhere EXCLUSIVELY to visit a zoo, but most of our trips have the presence of a zoo (preferably with good...
The debate about COVID transmission is not one I'm prepared to dive into, thanks, but as far as messaging is concerned -- I'm glad you qualified...
Oh, I know. Believe me, I know! With that said, I can't deny the evidence of my own experiences. The fact remains that the best interactive...
