This will also be incomplete as it wasn’t my focus, but these places often hold rare specimens, complete collections of native species, and things like that. Natural history museums and other notable facilities without animals – Places that have a focus, or partial focus, on modern species (not only dinosaurs) but don’t keep any live animals. These are things like nicer town parks, farm parks, etc.Ĥ. Better places to see domestics – This will be far from complete, but notable places I’ve saved that currently only hold domestics. This will also include petting zoo type places that have a limited amount of exotics.ģ. If a museum has live animals, the listed category will say so, ex. Smaller nature centers and places with a limited amount of species – Facilities where animals aren’t the central focus but are present, like museums and nature centers that have a few herps and fish. Zoos, aquariums, safaris, large nature centers, etc – Places that have sizeable collections and/or are focused on having animals.Ģ. Each state will be broken down into four main categories:ġ. These will be roughly one per week, with less time between states that don’t have many facilities. To start, I will be doing one post per state. I know I’m unfortunately missing places, there’s no way I’ve gotten them all, but you can be nice about it Anything closing or having a major name change is also important to note. I am really not looking for people to nitpick little details about it! If you have a facility to add, please first double check that it is still open, and do a search of the page (on windows, touch the Ctrl and F keys at the same time) to make sure it isn’t listed under a different name. Please keep in mind that this is based on my personal list. I’ve been keeping one for myself for a few years, and have decided to put in the time and energy to share it with you all. The idea of a database of zoos, etc in the USA has been tossed around here for some time.
