Ken. Based on your location I would check out southwick zoo as well. It's way better than beardsely(and I'm a beardsely fan!)
I'n not sure why the san diego zoo is so highly rated unless you love hiking on hard cement up hills with pollution and noise from buses, huge...
It's a cute TINY zoo land wise(much smaller than beardsely), but has a lot of animals packed into small area. The monkey incident was a fluke.
Don't really see a problem with either in captivity. It's all how they house/treat the animals. Don't people kill animals for fun?(ie...
After the polar bear failure, they should have been forced to give a timetable and exact accounting of the state money. Not simply entice people...
A new rainforest building for 9 million....when is that happening? Or this going to be like the polar bear failure?
It would be cool if they put a big waterfall in the exhibit like the elephant exhibit at RWP or the tiger exhibit at southwick. Beardsley doesn't...
When will that be completed? Is there a diagram of that exhibit?
That's really good to hear! About time they did something new and expanded there! They don't seem to get a lot of funding from the state, unlike...

Who care about "education"(conservationist brain washing). I could careless about that nonsense. They should be built for people's enjoyment....
The enclosures for the animal themselves are big enough. It's about the smell. Sq feet when you're talking smell is also about height/anywhere air...
Well saying you're the best is different that saying the competition doesn't even EXIST! :p
Oh and I should mention Beardsley zoo itself calls it "the only zoo in ct"(and it doesn't simply say accredited...it says "only zoo"....
Ok, this is a lot of rambling by me to make a clear cut point. I'm not trying to attack action wildlife. I'm simply stating Beardsley zoo doesn't...
One thing I do like about action is that they have gravel/dirt paths instead of concrete, which is much easier on the feet. They should plant a...
What? Southwick zoo is in the country side. That's a zoo. So is lupa zoo, which is also in the "country". We were talking about proximity when I...
What other zoos are in ct? True zoos. Not a petting zoo. Action wildlife in goshen is in the middle of nowhere(a solid hour plus from hartford)...
