You can see just about any animal here. It's high time I pay the zoo another visit.

I enjoy zoos because the educate people on the animals, the help the animals to survive especially since so many are threatened and it is a day out. I am not one for the older zoos where the animals don't have much room but the large ones...yes, I'm in favour. I actually went to the Toronto Zoo a year and a half ago and saw the pandas and so many others but I hurt myself with all the walking.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-78377851558985054392016-05-01T11:08:01.848-07:002016-05-01T11:08:01.848-07:00Lee, it's been many years, since I've been...Lee, it's been many years, since I've been to a zoo. As a teenager, I recall visiting King's Island and going through their safari portion of amusement park. That was my first ever zoo-like experience, which was really cool. We've been to the Knoxville Zoo a few times in years past and I really want to make another trip now that I have my big girl camera, but have yet to do it. *sigh* I love zoos! It's a great place to see animals up close and out of harms reach. I have not been to the Central Park Zoo or the midwest zoo and how fascinating the one in NYC gets a greater number of visitors, but then again NYC along has a dense population and add the neighboring states plus all who visit there every year then the numbers get exponential fast. Great way to round of the A2Z Challenge. Thanks for hosting another year of fun and for your visits, my friend!<br /><br /><a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2016/04/all-things-vintage-ziegfeld-follies-and-girls-aprila2z/" rel="nofollow">All Things Vintage: Ziegfeld Follies and Girls</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-31664262147650896272016-05-01T08:59:58.536-07:002016-05-01T08:59:58.536-07:00If I did ever end up in Manhattan, I would be sure...If I did ever end up in Manhattan, I would be sure to go to the zoo.<br /><br />Another challenge in the bag.

I haven't been to any of the Manhattan zoos and it's quite a while since I went to the Delhi Zoo. Congratulations on completing the Challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed my first A to Z.

I have never been to a New York zoo, but I've been to five zoos in California, including the big one in San Diego, another fairly large one in Los Angeles, and three small city zoos you can walk through in minutes. I love zoos. <br /><br />@barbsbooks<br /><br /><a href="http://lighting-candles.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Barb's Garden Observations</a><br /><a href="http://paso-robles-daily-photos.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Paso Robles in Photos</a> BarbRadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15899642277679265680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-7266352953033926112016-04-30T23:06:54.544-07:002016-04-30T23:06:54.544-07:00I love zoos!

I have been to Coffeyville, Kansas, but that's a whole 'nother story.<br /><br />I have been to these South Carolina zoos: Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia and the Greenville Zoo in Greenville. I've been to both on many occasions, but didn't go to any zoo until after David and I started dating.<br /><br />I have been to these Texas zoos: Houston Zoo in Houston and The Texas Zoo in Victoria. <br /><br />David says that he may have gone to the zoo in Atlanta, GA as a child, but he can't remember for sure.<br /><br />Like with the state/national park systems, there are membership programs where one membership gets you free access to all the zoos in their program. I think that is great!<br /><br />I have enjoyed visiting "The City" via your posts and look forward now to reading your other blogs, too.
