I haven't been to many different zoos, but I guess my two favorites would have to be

1. Southwick Zoo
2. Stone Zoo


I've only been to the Southwick Zoo once, on a sleep-away camp "overnight field trip experience". We got to sleep right next to the goats. Oh joy, the smells of the outdoors. XD

I've been to the Stone Zoo quite a few times. It's pretty small, but there are some cool animals.
Is this the end of the moment
Or just a beautiful unfolding
Of a love that will never be?

Hmm...Lets see, probably:

The Sanfrancisco Zoo
Moscow Zoo


Mostly the Moscow Zoo because they had two beautiful grey wolves. =)

I would have to say:

1. San Diego Zoo
2. ZooAmerica

The San Diego Zoo is everything that a zoo should be; it's like you're actually going into these habitats because the scenery is just amazing, and they have such a wide variety of animals there too.
But I love ZooAmerica because it's all animals from North America, and I'm the most knowledgeable of North American wildlife. There's wolves, bison, owls....everything I love is there. =3

Hmm, I have three that are very high on my list:

Western Plains Zoo (Dubbo, Australia)- because it is wide and open with large enclosures for the animals and minimal fences to give it a more realistic feel

Honolulu Zoo (Honolulu, Hawaii)- it's nice and tropical with it's own unique vibe and simplistic set up that is still entertaining and worth-while

The Reptile Park (outskirts of Sydney, Australia)- I suppose it doesn't really count as a 'zoo', but I still love it, multiple visits have resulted in multiple unique animal encounters including walking around a small space with an alligator roaming around in there with me while a 2.5m long boa constrictor is draped across my shoulders; truly unique with a spider area as well as native Australian animals

But my favourite would probably have to be:
Taronga Zoo (Sydney Harbour, Australia)- it has a vast variety of animals from all continents with large, enriching enclosures along with the spectacular views of Sydney Harbour along with the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. I also know it well due to many, many visits and it is something I have always grown up with; truly amazing.

I have also heard that Australia Zoo is very good, and I plan to visit it sometime. And no, this isn't just a list of all the zoos I've been to, I've been to around half a dozen more but these ones stand out for their own individual layouts/animals and the unique experiences I've had

My favorite zoo would have to be the Atlanta zoo because the only two I have ever been to are the Oregon Zoo and the Atlanta Zoo and I think I enjoy the Atlanta Zoo a lot better :D

Mm. I've only been to two zoos, which are:
1. Duluth Zoo
2. Chippawa Zoo
Duluth Zoo, is by far, better than Chippawa. Chippawa only has local animals like deer and moose, but Duluth has peacocks, wolves, monkies, so I really enjoy going there.

I have only been in three zoos in my whole life, so i will order them on my most favorite to my least favorite.

1) Millwakee Zoo (Millwakee, WI)
2) Manotiwoc Zoo (Manotiwoc, WI) -Probolly not spelt right-
3) Henry Villas Zoo (Madison, WI)

The Henry Villas Zoo is the closest to where we live, but I don't like it as much, lol.

I haven't been to a lots of zoo's, but here they are,

1. Puerto Vallarta Zoo - A lots of animals. (And spiders, oh spiders.. a lots of them. And in NO cages) And in the entrance of the zoo you can get a pack of food for the animals - yes, you can feed them. And, oh, you can play with animal babies. 8D I played with a tiger, lion, leopard and panther cubs.
2. Zoo America - Love it.
