Well that's nice. I do go to some zoos, only the ones that rescue animals that for some reason can't go in the wild.

I visit the zoo like once every second or third year... Only because I have to go to the capital city of my country...

Well, in the summer I "visit" my small, local zoo 2-3 times a week. That's because I'm a Junior Zookeeper there!
I visit there in the off-season once every few months, if I can. I'm friends with a kind of parrot (the filter on this website stinks guys), so I try to go hang out with him as much as possible.

I usually visit larger AZA zoos twice a year, at least. I really wish I could go more often. I'm hoping to maybe get a season pass to the Indianapolis Zoo and visit more often next year.

I'm pretty sure I've only visited a zoo like, twice, and even then that was a few years ago! I'd love to go and visit the zoo again at some point and go there more frequently.

Usually about once a year, but I'd love to start going more often, and eventually start visiting the zoo as my workplace. (:

Perhaps about once or twice a year due to my distance from the closest zoo. I used to attend more frequently when I was younger and even participated in a 'Keeper For A Day' program a couple years ago, which was a wonderful experience.

Usually once or twice per year. There's not a zoo close to were i live, so that explains it.

With having fairly young siblings who act awful, parents who don't want to do anything ever, and a lack of nearby zoos, maybe every other year or every two years sadly.

I visit once every couple of years-- and I live in very close proximity to one.
The only zoos I have visited in my lifetime have been my local zoo and the National Zoo.

Very sparsely, though I would say every two years. The last one I went to was the National Zoo.

I often visit at least once a month, easily twice or more on the less busy days. I have a zoo pass, so I don't have to worry about making the most out of the money and staying all day. This allows me to make short, regular visits.

Every now and then, maybe like twice a year or something.

Today we went to Tropicario with my friend, there are mostly snakes and lizards but one hornbill bird and spiders too etc. I've been there before and wanted to go again to see the huge reticulated pythons once more. I'm a canine lover but those huge, curious and beautiful snakes just fascinate me - and scare me too to be honest! It took me a while to approach them just like on the first time... :shock: :lol:
Nevermind me I just like to blah blah.
