looks like the former CEO and its vice president were involved in the big cat trade

I thought it already was. Though I really only know the zoo being where Jack Hanna was from

They were also using their perks as heads of zoo to benefit their families- lots of free stuff on zoo dime.

We have a membership, love all the conservation initiatives despite that period of poor leadership

Wonderful zoo. Glad they got it back.

Is it good? I moved here almost 2 years ago and haven't been yet. Used to live 2 miles from the Cincinnati zoo and loved it.

Do their zoo lights

Also live 2 miles from cincy zoo. Cincy is consistently ranked in the top 10 zoos of the US. Columbus is up there too but Cincy might have it beat by a little.

The Columbus Zoo is one of the best zoos in the country, as well as the largest. They have enormous habitats and some of the best conservationists. It’s really only second to the San Diego Zoo & Safari Park in terms of variety and prestige.

I frequent the cinci zoo a lot and I like Columbus more. Mainly because of the hills at the Cincinnati zoo are a killer for pushing a stroller. Columbus to me was more spread out and with the aquarium had a lot more to see.

It’s a really nice zoo. I grew up by the Pittsburgh zoo so I was a bit spoiled.

It's part of the big 5

>It’s really only second to the San Diego Zoo & Safari Park in terms of variety and prestige.

San Diego zoo propaganda is actually insane

>Cincy is consistently ranked in the top 10 zoos of the US.

Only by people who don't know what they're talking about. Actual zoo nerds wouldn't even put Cincy top 30. Columbus is easy top 5.

Of zoos?

Yes

TIL. I'll have to check it out this spring or summer. Or whenever it's open and the weather is nice.

You can learn a lot about the zoo from the National Geographic show 'Secrets of the Zoo'. It follows the vet staff and some Zoo keepers.
