Havent been to that many but in the last 3 years I have upped my zoo attendance... 1. Chester Zoo 2. Colchester Zoo 3. Longleat Safari Park 4. Paradise Wildlife Park 5. Edinburgh Zoo 6. Highland Safari Park 7. Five Sisters (West Calder, Scotland) 8. Whipsnade Zoo 9. London Zoo I really really want to visit San Diego (I hear great things)
In no particular order... 1. London Zoo 2. Berlin Zoo 3. Taronga Zoo 4. Lok Kawi Wildlife Park (they had a great collection when I visited, although now I think the Sumatran rhinos are no longer there) 5. Gaia Zoo 6. Zoorasia 7. Singapore Zoo 8. Saigon Zoo 9. Khao Kheow Open Zoo 10. Al Bustan Zoological Centre (although it is not public) The first 7 are ones I have visited and the last 3 I want to visit mainly because of their collection. I would have said Pata Zoo for the linsangs, but the zoo itself is quite appalling.
in order 1. Toledo Zoo 2 National zoo 3. Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park 4. Fort Wayne "Children's" Zoo 5. Brookfield zoo 6. Saint Louis Zoo 7. Metro Richmond zoo 8. Sylvan Heights Bird Park 9. Henry Vilas Zoo 10. Milwaukee county zoo
Columbus zoo Georgia aquarium San Diego zoo Chester zoo toronti zoo Bronx zoo Oregon zoo Memphis zoo Denver zoo Henry doorley zoo (Some are from my visits some are from how they look like and other people's opinions)
Excluding my home zoo, Detroit, and also excluding ones I have not visited for decades, such as Amsterdam and Whipsnade, in no particular order: Brookfield Cincinnati Bronx Columbus San Diego Toronto Washington, DC Seattle St. Louis Columbus
Brain freeze; as far as I know there's just the one in Columbus. And as a native Michigander and graduate of the U. of Michigan (law school) I hate having to give any accolade to anything in Ohio, but it's a really fine zoo. I'd add another Ohio zoo, Toledo. It's perhaps not as comprehensive as some others but a model of what you can do in a fairly limited area.
