Zootourism: Exploring the animal kingdom while traveling. Families have long used zoos as a mainstay of vacation activities, but there's a lot more out there than just your nearest big-city zoo for someone who wants to walk with the animals, talk with the animals. At Zootourism.com, we have information on zoos, aquariums, animal farms, petting zoos, wildlife viewing areas, and much more.

Select a state below, or look at the Whole Map if you prefer (Caution: the worldwide map holds over 5,000 zoos. It can be slow for some connections). Also, please Tell Us about places to find animals. We're extraordinarily comprehensive, but it doesn't mean we haven't missed a little one here or there.

Now find some places to go, plan a few animal-stops for your trips, and get out there!
