"Opened in 1906 as the nation’s first zoo, this suburban conservation site runs long-standing preservation programs and presents a mix of species from capybaras and chimpanzees to kangaroos and giraffes. Depending on rescue outcomes, visitors may spot native kiwi birds, and paid close-encounter packages let guests meet animals such as sun bears, red pandas, and snow leopards." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
