    2.San Diego Zoo
    3.Toronto Zoo
    4.Chester Zoo
    5.ZooBerlin
    6.Bronx Zoo
    7.Georgia Aquarium
    8.St. Louis Zoo
    9. Zoo Atlanta
    Does anyone have any suggestions for changes to this list

    That's a good list. You would be seeing many of the most highly regarded zoos in the world.

    It seems a little light on European zoos

    I have heard good things about Atlanta Zoo, but IIRC it's not considered up there with the very best. Is there any particular reason you put this zoo on your bucket list? As Ned mentions, the list is a bit light on non-North American zoos, so I'd probably put in something like Berlin Tierpark, Prague Zoo, Burgers' Zoo, Zurich Zoo, Singapore Zoo, maybe Taronga Zoo, instead of Atlanta.

    Of course, a true bucket list should also be based on what's realistic to do. I'd love to do a tour of some of the major American zoos, but if I had to make a bucket list, most of it would probably be European zoos given that those are the ones I actually have a chance to visit on a yearly basis instead of saving up for years.

    Well he's gonna be there for the aquarium so why not.
    Probably should list it as Georgia Aquarium/Zoo Atlanta
    and then add some more Euros, since he will be in the neighborhood, haha
