Do you like the Zoo?

I alwyas loved visiting the zoo. I haven't been there in over a year. I really should take my daughter again. She was a little too young to enjoy it last time. My most memorable trip was when the llama spit in my husbands face. That was a Kodak moment. We kept telling him about the warning signs posted but he didn't listen. I thought I was going to pee my pants, I was laughing so hard.

Hi there, I have a story that I love and still laugh at all the time. I am older now but when I was 16 years old, I played hooky from school with friends. We went to the Prospect Park Zoo in Brooklyn, NY. A male friend of mine kept bothering the apes. We told him to leave the poor thing alone. He stood in front of the cage and copied the animal's movements. The ape kept pacing back and forth, very perturbed. He finally picked up a ball of his doo doo and flung it at my friend. It hit him square in the chest and I could not stand up for about 10 minutes. I started laughing so hard that I was crying, and I was bent over. It was the funniest thing I ever saw and I told my friend that he should have left the poor animal alone. When we went to get on the train to return to Queens, NY, none of us would sit with our friend, he smelled like ape doo doo...LOL!!! True Story!!!!

This summer I went to the zoo for the first time in my life. We went to South Carolina to visit our daughter and her family. Our 3 1/2 year old grandaughter had heard about the zoo at church. She wanted to go so bad. We all loaded up in two separate vehicles and drove a little over an hour to get there. It was amazing. I loved it as much as my granddaughter did. I loved seeing all the animals that I had only read about. It took all afternoon to walk and see everything they had. It was amazing to see the zoo for the first time with our grandchildren. LOL

I've only been to one zoo, the John Ball Park Zoo in Grand Rapids, MI. It has a lot of really nice exhibits. My favorites were always the mountain lions and the prairie dogs. I never got to see the penguins- all five times I went, the penguin exhibit was closed for cleaning. What kind of luck is that?

Most zoo try to install collections in 'natural' settings,with mountains and lakes,trees for the species as they could be in nature.We can observe tigers swimming in their pool and lion cubs playing in the grass with their keeper,thus getting and idea of the way animals behave when they are free.In some very large parks the animals are truly free and it is the visitors have to remain 'caged' in their cars to visit them.

I have been to the Omaha Nebraska zoo and it was wonderful it had sharks monkeys seahorses and all kinds of things. my eight year old liked the sharks the best, my 3 year old like the children's petting zoo the best of course lol I liked the sea horses and the starfish the best I had no idea that starfish could be pink, purple, and blue. I wanted to share some pics but I have no idea how lol

I love the Zoo! I went just last month, to the one in my area. I have many more zoos that I would recommend you go to, but there is one that I am planning on going to, with my husband, because we have heard so much about, it is the San Diego Zoo. I believe that that will be the most spectacular one. I have been to about 5 in California, and one in Arizona. There is nothing more fun, to take family members to, than a place where you can all appreciate nature together, and everyone of all ages can enjoy it.

Yes I love taking my children to the zoo. My favorite is reptiles. Also my son when he was two, was looking at a Kamodo dragon through the glass when the thing turned around and walked upto the glass.My son was so excited he tried to touch it through the glass. I took a picture of it, because the dragon put its nose upto my son's finger. It was so cute. We try to go every year.

I haven't been on a lot of zoos actually but I think I would enjoy a trip to the zoo, maybe in Australia would be great! The only vivid memoir that I have that includes a zoo was when I was in nursery and we had a field trip to a zoo in the Philippines, and my classmate threw up on me while we were in the bus.... icky! you bet it ruied the whole zoo trip for me!

when i was younger i hate going to the zoo, my parents took me to the tiger cage when i was very younge, and i had nightmare for years after than, but after i saw more and learn more of them on tv and books i am much better at the zoo now, i can walk around, stand there and check them out and read about them. my fear of tiger is gone.

We used to visit the zoo or wild animal park a lot as kids. We'd travel the 2hrs to San Diego (now its like 1hr *L*) and go to them. I loved to look at the animals. I think I might have even wanted to be a zoo keeper. I fell in LOVE with the white koala bear. I dont know if they have any alive anymore. But they were rare and white! White pink eyes and nose SO CUTE! The looked so adorable I bought this stuffed animal I still own and love. My sister once (not here but in Australia) held a Koala bear. She said it was like a little kid clinging to her. I loved to look at the animals and watch them. It was so much fun. I want to visit them again someday soon and see the animals as a grownup. And when I have kids they will defently see the zoo as often as possible! :))

I love zoos. They are so much fun. To see all the animals is a happy day. I would say that the San Francisco Zoo is my favorite zoo. I lived there, and we use to go their every week. Nice memories.

Zoos? I looooooove zoos!!! I mean, you don't have to chase or wait for animals in a jungle just to see them up close or take their pictures like for instance what our beloved Steve Irwin used to do, right? Or watch Animal Planet just to see different kinds of animals. The last time I went to the zoo was last year (I think). I saw very, very cute tigers up close!!! They weren't that friendly though, but they made me really, really happy! I wish I could hug them!! Arww.. *Síghs*

Well truly speaking i have only went once to zoo when i was the kid. I really love that experience in my life. Tigers, snakes, elephant, zebra and many even lions but i loved the tiger more than anyone else especially the cubs of them they are so cute. I would really like them to keep in house, well that was a joke.

Good morning Beaniefanatic13, I love zoo's. It's generally the first stop I plan when I visit a new city. And, in some cases, like the San Diego Zoo, I'll return whenever the opportunity arises. As for the most memorable zoo trip ... here's a very funny little story: I was at the Dallas zoo, having lunch with some new business acquaintances, one of whom was 'Mr. Negativity'. Every other word out of his mouth was how this bad thing happened or that person did this bad thing to him. Imagaine the setting, we were eating lunch at an outside picnic table in a lovely clearing near a cluster of trees, when (I kid you not) a bird flew overhead, relieving itself right on the guys forehead. None of us said a word. I handed him a paper napkin, and attempted to manage the hilarity and irony by ignoring the incident and returning to conversation. After he cleaned the mess from his forehead, he proceeded to declare that the bird proved his theory that life sucked! Then, much to our amazement another bird added it's two cents! (Again, not kidding!) The other three of us busted out laughing. When the aching bellies subsided I asked the man ... "Did it ever occur to you that maybe your negativity draws such examples?" Although he had no response, and I've never seen him since, I've often hoped he took my words to heart and changed his outlook on life. I love this story because it really exemplifies the wisdom of our feathered and furry friends. There are teachers all around us, if we'll only listen.

I love zooz too. The Adelaide zoo is excellent. Every year we go there at least once. All my children love it. The surroundings are excellent. When I was teaching, I used to always arrange a class excursion to the zoo. The Adelaide zoo has many Autralian animals, such as koalas, kangaroos, echidnas, platypus, etc. However they have also made efforts to bring on overseas animals. My favourites are the meerkats. There is a Childrens section at the Adelaide zoo, where kids can pet and feed the animals. Our state also has a wide plains zoo, called Monaro, where the animals can range freely,such as lions. I have only been there once.

I love going to the zoo but unfortunately it is quite far away from me so it's very seldom I get to go. If I'd ever just go get my license it would probably be a lot easier, lol. The last time I took my children, my youngest was only around three and we had so much fun. The zoo had a bunch of raccoons and they kept untying my daughter's shoes, lol. It was too funny to watch and my daughter just kept getting me to retie her shoes so she could stick them back out for the raccoons to untie yet another time,lol.

i dont like animals in zoos as much as i like birds. they are moe colourful and fun to watch and also i love to collect their feathers from zoos as i find them very attractive....

Well i do like going to the zoo its always a nice experience to see the wild animals at a single place. But what i dislike about zoos are they the animals are restricted and caged and aren't in their natural habitat. But at times its best to keep them there to increase their survival rate if they are an near extint species. Overall sure i like the zoo.

yes i definitely love to visit the zoo as we can see many of the pretty animals.as these animals can be seen in only forest zoo is the only right place for us to see them with out any risk.we also can enjoy there presence around us.
