I love exhibits that focus around coastal habitats and waterways. That stream exhibit in the beginning is super cool and I love the Great Lakes representation.

I’d always highly recommend the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium in Draper, Utah! One of the most immersive aquariums I’ve ever visited, and is split neatly into 5 galleries perfectly episode sized!
@sentinelstorm4878 ай бұрын
Worth noting that the Loveland Aquarium, Tracy Aviary, and Hogle Zoo (the 3 AZA accredited facilities in the state) are all fairly close. Easy to hit them all in one trip for footage!

The National Aquarium in Baltimore definitely deserves some recognition, especially the Amazonia and Australia sections both of which blur the line between zoos and aquariums.

3:15 That spot there used to house small animals. This one had a tarantula, and the large one next to it used to have a Geoffrey's cat right next to the penguins.

Poa! Similar to the aquarium at the Omaha Zoo! Try visiting the Seattle Aquarium next, Zak! Plus, 6 zoo trivia questions for you & your girlfriend.... 1) What year did the San Francisco Zoo's fishing cat, Kiet, passed away from old age? 2) What are the names of the 3 river otters that moved in the Aquarium Of The Bay back in 2015? 3) Besides the Great & Southern Ground Hornbills, what other hornbill species has the San Francisco Zoo housed? 4) How many years did the Oakland Zoo originally house both the muntjacs & the sika deer? 5) Where did the elephants from SixFlags Discovery Kingdom been relocated? 6) How many years ago did Sierra the coyote lived in the Curiodyssey Museum & Zoo before she passed away at the age of 19?

To answer the episode's question, I'm a big fan of the Florida Aquarium. I do feel that the species variety could be a little better for the price but the exhibit design and immersion is top notch.

The Shedd Aquarium and Oceanarium would be a great thing to see. Really miss Cincy's old Aquarium in the Zoo that was replaced by the Manatee building though. While not an aquarium the mini-zoo at Dayton, Ohio's Boonshoft Museum is also something that would make a great single episode...I'm hoping the expansion rumors about the museum are true that they're revamping the old building and linking it to the current building with other things to make more space for things that aren't aimed at just kids because I like to wander museums and about half of the place is just a playground the last time I was there and another big chunk was classrooms.
@alexbroadbent53138 ай бұрын
One really cool picture I got one time while I was there was when I was in this building over by the penguins. There was one that I believe was leucistic that swam right up to the glass and just kind of followed me around.

It might not be the biggest, but it sure is interesting and scenic… the Stephen Birch Aquarium-Museum in San Diego. It’s essentially part of the UCSD campus in La Jolla, CA… Nice tanks and exhibits, including one massive “signature” tank, like a movie theater screen essentially, with movie theater style “platform” seating to sit and watch! Besides the indoor aquarium, and connected museum about marine science & maritime history, the “back patio” has outdoor tide/ touch pools which literally look right over the Pacific. If you look over the wall, it’s several hundred feet straight down. Very scenic at sunsets, playing with starfish. ⭐ 🐠 🐟

While not a conventional aquarium, Dallas World Aquarium with its massive indoor aviary section and host of rare species not found in other zoo collections would make for an interesting video or series of videos. While you have featured it on the channel already, Georgia Aquarium is opening some new exhibits up later this year so some new stuff to showcase there aswell, the new wxhibits include a shark and ray touch tank, renovation of the dolphin presentation area, and anew exhibit added to River Scout featuring african fish like Ropefish, african tigerfish, cichlids and more.

I’ve seen a lot of love in these comments for my local aquariums in Cali, but none yet for Odysea Aquarium in Scottsdale, AZ. It’s one of the newest facilities in the nation (opened in 2016) and has some truly innovative exhibits. Highly recommend checking it out! Also wanna shout out the three aquaria in the great state of Minnesota - Sea Life MN, the MN Zoo’s Discovery Bay, and the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth, all of which are awesome. (For a slightly less known option that I haven’t been to myself, ABQ BioPark’s Zoo and Aquarium are ones I really wanna visit, but would love to see on here first!)

Wow. I have been viewing your videos since 2019, Zach. Having been a longtime resident of Grand Rapids, the Zoo was an integral part of my childhood. I always wanted you to tour the John Ball zoo. But JBZ never showed up on your playlist, and I just assumed that you would probably never do it. Now, 4 years later, it finally shows up! As soon as you show the tigers, memories flood in. Words can’t easily express my gratitude right now. Maybe all I can say is you’re welcome for watching. You’re very welcome, indeed. Thanks! Ps- Are you ever going to make a new top favorite zoo video? Your last one included 25 zoos, but you’ve honestly gone to quite a few more zoos since then. Do it as soon as possible!
