As soon as the word zoo comes into our mind, we think of world-class establishments
such as the National Zoo in Washington, DC, the San Diego Zoo, or New York's
Bronx Zoo. It's no hidden fact that most of United States' zoos are located
near or in the big cities, making them fairly easy to visit.
If you haven't been to any of them, here are the top five that you must visit
at least once:
Disney's Animal Kingdom

anniversary on April 22nd. The park has an almost 1800 animals representing more
than 250 different species. Divided into seven regions covering the animals from

Recently in the news for its mind blowing Earth Day celebrations, this state owned
zoo is located in the middle of Randolph County, near the town of quite Asheboro,
virtually equidistant from the state's three largest cities of Charlotte, Raleigh,
