    Hi there!

    For a small group of people in the Netherlands I am hosting an opinion poll. Just to see what people think about their plan.
    I'd love to see what true zoo fans think.

    Please take two minutes (at max) to fill out the poll. Thanks

    NOTE: The poll is in dutch as they are the target audience here.

    There are plans but no talks yet with the city itself. Feel free to PM for all your questions

    probably in a zoo
    I don't know how serious this plan is, but I guess you could better ask the general public what they would expect as they will be the paying costumers.

    Zwolle once had a small zoo-like facility. Maybe understanding why it has closed down might be another important step.

    I checked with the team and that is indeed one of the things they already researched. One of the reasons found was there were too many zoo's in and around the city. Epe, Wissel, and Dinoland were all in close proximity, with two of them gone and one changed their plan there is an opportunity. And of course the plan will be discussed with the city of Zwolle.

    However asking what people want will get you the ABC answers, which is not the focus for them at this point, they want to start small and from what I've read, quite interesting!
