Where’s the best place to check out animals in the U.S.?
USA Today‘s 10Best asked this question to a panel of travel experts and industry professionals. The panel came up with an expedited list and then 10Best asked their readers to choose from that list…
From that, 10Best determined the (you guessed it) 10 best zoos in the nation. And Chicago‘s Brookfield Zoo landed on the list…
Here’s what the top 5 of that top 10 looked like:
- Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium in Omaha, Nebraska
- Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden in Cincinnati, Ohio
- Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida
- Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, Colorado
- Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield, Illinois
About Brookfield Zoo, the list highlights the zoo’s 2,400 animals from some 500 species and a number of educational activities like Earth Day events and animal encounters.
