u/Yikes_Brigade, you should check this out. I Googled the zoo based on Mostly's comment (I wanted to see if it was one of those awful road-side places or a legit institution) and OMFG YOU CAN PLAY WITH ALL THE CRITTERS!!!

Of course! I'm somewhat of a red panda fan myself 🙂

The zoo isn't publicly funded like Smithsonian but from what I could tell, they take good care of the critters.

I was going to ask, but I remembered I could Google it my damn self just as easily.

Looks like it's accredited and donations can be claimed on your taxes. I'm sure there are better metrics to go by, but those two are good enough for me.

Now if you'll excuse me - I have to go empty my bank account so I can do ALL the animal experiences!
