Not very often.
Though I try my best with friends,
and/or our neighbors kids, to go along.

Those who wish to go to zoos often need to come live by me. A few lots down there's a local zoo, and it's actually a decent one. Unfortunately I'm not much of a zoo-goer so I fail to frequently visit, but alas, perhaps I will someday.

Last time I visited a zoo was in January. I guess I kinda got bored of the American Zoos.

I wouldn't say that I go frequently, but I go maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Because our nearest zoo is about an hour or two away so it's not that bad of a drive and I could probably go more if I wanted! After all while though it sort of gets a bit bland so I space my trips out by a couple of months. :P

I only visit the zoo once or twice a year. I wish I could visit the zoo more often. :(

I go to the zoo two or three times a year, usually in the summertime. I would go more, 'cept its way too expensive for me to afford.

I haven't been the zoo that often yet o:
But I think I will go soon, because our local zoo just had two arrivals lately. Two baby snow leopard cubs! I'm so eager to see them this year =D

Probably only once a year, the ones near me are quite expensive, so I don't get to go very often.

I didn't go to the zoo a lot when I was younger, even though I loved animals; but now I have a little brother, and he loves going, so we visit the zoo once in a while.

Most zoos go out in Africa and tranquilize giraffes that were perfectly happy and healthy as with any other animal, and I refuse to pay money to those types of people. So not too often. I also hate it when little kids throw popcorn at the animals.

Not really. Sure, some zoos do, and yeah, children will always be a problem, but most zoos work with the rescue and rehabilitation of animals, not "hey let's go find what we can and bring it back!" Most of those animals have a reason for being there. There used to be a cheetah in the Dallas zoo that only had one eye and thus wasn't releasable, and there was an ocelot in the Belize zoo that had lost its mother in a flood. So no, zoos aren't bad. Heck, Disney's zoo park has its own research center!
