I like the 2 zoos called New York City and San Francisco. . .both offer a huge array of colorful creatures that you will never see anywhere else. . .

What a jokster you are.

San Diego has a magnificent zoo. So, SD's zoo gets the nod from me.

Cheers!!

Yeah, I forgot, I have been there before, about 17 years ago. I don't remember it too well, but I remember thinking it was pretty good.

I've only been to the Bronx Zoo and Washington DC's Zoo and they were both nice.

Free my ass. I went there a few weeks ago. We weren't all that impressed with it honestly. When we left it was $14 to park. We were there less than an hour and still had to pay the flat rate.

UrbanSophist · December 9th, 2005, 03:11 AM

St. Louis is the best city zoo that I've been to. But it doesn't really feel like its "in the city". I also haven't really been to many zoos.

It covers over 710 Acres, and it is one of the best Zoo's in the world.

Bronx Zoo clames to be the worlds greatest with a thousand less animals than Toronto's... and it is 6.5 Acres and Toronto's is 710... with a water park, but watever.

http://www.torontozoo.com/

ok, if this was a topic regarding zoos in north america it wouldve made sense for you posting that, but i dont think toronto is in the US and we dont really need your corny opinon and the zoo URL lol, so get out you stupid canuck
