Only the one I know of near Ohio is Chattanooga, TN. There aren't a lot of places that do encounters on a regular basis

Do you know of any near Chicago? I think Brookfield might be doing them soon, but their website is a little bit vague.

Yeah it's confusing. Only 3 places I have found that clearly let you visit pandas are Chattanooga, Wellington and Oglebay. I would definitely look into that Brookfield Zoo event coming up though, looks like they put a lot of work into it even if you won't get to get up close.

San Diego Zoo has a backstage pass for giant pandas but not the red ones :argh:

The Fanklin Park Zoo in Boston lets you visit red pandas in their enclosure if you donate over a hundred bucks or so, but that's not available until 2017 when they finish rebuilding that area of the zoo!

Hmm, the improper loafing gets a B- but the look of ennui and the dangling legs to keep the center of gravity low earns an A-

Room for improvement.

Definitely teamster-level though.

It seems to depend on the panda, but I don't see them being petted at most zoos because it may stress them out. This little guy likes scritches though:
