I think I might make Newquay my 60th... any thoughts?

This updated list takes my total number of zoos visited this year to 32!

 

I think it's very nice little zoo and you should go if you are in the area.

I am around the ninety mark now. Depending on holiday confirmation for next year, I expect to clear 100 by visiting the USA in September/October.

 

Sounds like you'll have a great time! I expect to slow down, so doubt I'll even hit 70 next year...

 

Here is a list of zoos I've went to:

1. Woodland Park Zoo
2. Seattle Aquarium
3. San Diego Zoo Safari Park
4. San Diego Zoo
5. Birch Aquarium
6. Sea Life Carlsbad
7. Seaworld San Diego
8. New England Aquarium

25. Van Saun Park Zoo

And if you're counting museums with live animals:

Boston Science Museum (disappointingly small collection)
Liberty Science Center
Pacific Science Center
Baltimore Science Center
National Museum of Natural History

 

What animals do the last three museums you listed have?

 

Pacific Science Center has a touch tank of animals from the Pacific Northwest, as well as an insect zoo. I tried looking at their website too but it's just plain awful.

Baltimore Science Center has an exhibit called "Follow the Blue Crab" featuring blue crabs, there may also be some other animals that I forgot. There's also a really cool non-animal related exhibition called Science and Main, as well as a decent dinosaur collection.

The National Museum of Natural History has an exhibit for live coral and fish in the ocean gallery, as well as a really cool insect zoo featuring all sorts of invertebrates.

 

Attached the list of Zoos I've visited - however I must admit that I don't recall all small parks and aquariums I've visited in my childhood / during university when traveling around...

Spain - 4 collections
62. Bioparc Valencia
63. Barcelona Zoo
64. L'Oceanographic
65. Barcelona Aquarium

So 65 in total, which is a pretty good amount. My number has gone up quite a bit in the last couple of years, from the high 30's to 65 today.

 

It's been over a year since I updated, so here's my new list! Additions are BestZoo, Loro Parque, Aachener Tierpark, 4 Vietnamese parks and 3 Panamanian parks. This brings me to a grand total of 115, which I am quite happy with! I feel like definitely in the last two years my zoo-visiting has become more and more sporadic, though, with the birding aspect taking over more and more of my life. Hopefully the two can be combined more efficiently in the future!
