I went to the zoo today because it was 3 dollar zoo day and you get into the zoo for 3 dollars, so It was extremely crowded with familys and women smoking while pushing strollers, then it made me realize that zoos suck, its horrible, the animals just lay there and do nothing (this is in florida) it was also extremely hot, the only cool part was touching sting ray's.

But whats your opinion on zoos?

meh, I haven't been interested in zoo's since elementary school

most of the time the animals look pretty unhappy anyway, or they don't do much movement in the day therefore you get there and see a lion and it's like "oh look, a lion.... sitting there.... sleeping - I wish I was sleeping. screw this I wanna go home and sleep."ok maybe not exactly like that, but yea :roll:

EDIT: I can't spell :P

I dislike the idea of zoos, something about being stuck in a cage isn't so much fun... So much for the circle of life eh...

A good trip to the zoo is where the zoo ain't crowded, the admission price is reasonable, at least some of the animals do something other than sleep and instead provide amusement for the onlookers, and finally no little kids are yelling and screaming "LOOK IT'S A TIGER/LION/MONKEY" which in effect scares the animals away anyway.

So unfortunately, I don't think there is a zoo in existence that satisfies all of those criteria. I do enjoy it occasionally, but they are not the most fun in the world.

Why does everybody hate zoos so much i love looking at all the animals. There so awsome. To me aquariums are plane boreing. You just go there and look at fish not my type of thing.

Zoos are okay but aquariums are much better big time and more exciting.

What zoo did you go to?

I haven't been to one in a while. Last one was Lion Country Safari and its kind of cool you can drive around inside the large areas where the lions and such wander around. I don't remember the Metro Zoo much.

I guess I have no opinion. Since it has been over 10 years since I have been (I'm in Florida too).

Most zoos do suck. However I went to a zoo in Argentina and got to pet tigers, lions, cute little bunny things, llamas, goats, ride elephants, ride camels, pet seals, and see a bunch of other animals. So basically it beat the pants off of San Diego as far as interaction went. The only down side was there weren't that many different kinds of animals.

Well this is true, but.... as long as the animals are looked after, have enough space, water and food I don't think they care too much, the zoo here has a ton of room for the animals, but I would say MOST zoo's are too small....

I agree it's sad that the animals are stuck, but some a lot of animals in zoos were salvaged pets that wouldn't have a chance in the wild. A lot of zoos also promote conservation of species that most people would know nothing about unless they saw and connected with them at the zoo. I'm disgusted by the circus/entertainment zoos but I definitely respect zoos that try to encourage conservation. BTW I'm probably biased since my girlfriend in a zoologist.

I'm spoiled when it comes to zoos. Good zoos near me. The Bronx Zoo, which is huge and has great exhibits and rides and stuff, and the Central Park Zoo, which is just such a nice place to take a walk.

You guys don't have fun at the zoo because you don't hop into the lion's den, next time when you see the hippos yawn go between his jaws.

I quite like zoo although I haven't been for a while. It's generally best to go on a weekday and get there as soon as they open. There are very few people there in the early part of the day and the heat of the day hasn't hit yet so there are more animals out and about.

I always found zoos to be so boring. Really, it's just a bunch of bored animals sitting around, eating, sleeping, and pooping. Nothing else. Plus just a ton of whiney kids, moms pushing stollers, and a bunch of animals you've already seen a million times and/or don't care.

An aquarium is just a fish zoo.
