There was a video circling around from there awhile back of a Mariachi band playing for a beluga, who was very into it. That was also at Mystic. I am planning an off-season trip to Mystic aquarium. It’s only about two hours from me, and they cared for the seal that randomly showed up in a freshwater pond in my city last year. I also want to see the belugas.

San Diego Zoo has its own Safari Park way up towards the north end of the county so you can, in fact, choose which zoo you want to go to in San Diego.

Len posted:I live in the Akron/Canton area and I'm real stoked to be able to take the baby Len to the various zoos. Maybe next summer? I don't know how babies develop Next summer is perfect for the Akron zoo. Been taking my little ones there since they were 1-2 years old each. It’s an easy walk, not too much real estate, lots of real-little kid stuff, and a cool merry go round. They’ll love it!

King county (where Seattle is) has a couple zoos, although Woodland Park Zoo is far and away the better of the two.

Re Zoo Chat: Back in the 2010s London Zoo wanted to widen its audience and make some quick cash, so they came up with Zoo Lates - an adults only party with several bars and some free booze. It went pretty much how you'd expect and they had to shut it down: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jul/18/london-zoo-party-night-animal-welfare quote:The welfare of animals at London zoo is being put at risk by drunken visitors at its Friday night parties, including one incident in which a man poured beer over a tiger before being thrown out by staff. Another incident this month saw a man strip off and attempt to enter the penguin pool, forcing staff to intervene. There are also unconfirmed reports that a drunken woman tried to enter the lion enclosure in June. Necrothatcher has a new favorite as of 13:30 on Nov 5, 2023 |

I really did think about it, but 99% of people would otherwise never get to see a whale shark or one of the big manta rays, and they're just mind blowing. We've even swam with whale sharks, which is also extraordinarily cool, but seeing them was still undiminished in wonder.

When I was at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh I was told that in order to get accreditation a zoo/aquarium has to have more than one "kind" of animal. Which is why aquariums will have crocodiles or tigers and the Aviary in question had sloths. Etc. I don't know all the details or if it's even true but it kinda makes sense I guess?Necrothatcher posted:Re Zoo Chat: The Cleveland zoo does a similar thing every summer called Twilight at the Zoo. It's incredibly popular but most of the animals are moved to the indoor parts of their exhibits for the festivities. I used to go every year but it has gotten so popular it's way, way too crowded.
