Who doesn't like going to the zoo? I still remember the first few times I went to a zoo.
Seeing animals from all around the world is magical for kids and adults alike. It reminds people that the world is a lot bigger than their small corner in it and that throughout the world there are magnificent animals and wildlife that are unique to those places.
Want to go to a zoo this summer with your kids? If so, read on to find out the top 10 zoos in America.
1. San Diego Zoo
The San Diego Zoo has some animal cams on their website where you can watch the animals sleep, eat, and play.
A new Asian Leopard exhibit opened on Memorial Day, 2015. It is believed that only 7,000 snow leopards exist in their natural habitats. There are only 300 Amur leopards in zoos across the world, which means it is the Earth's most endangered big cat.
