EUGENE, Ore., Sept. 24, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — RAVE Reviews, the innovative site that publishes entertaining rankings based on advanced data-driven analysis, has published its ranking of the “Best Zoos” available at https://www.ravereviews.org/travel/50-best-zoos-and-their-weirdest-animals/.
Planning family adventures can be difficult at times. Trying to find the right amount of fun while maintaining your parental sanity is also a challenge. Going to the Zoo has been a staple family activity for a long time, and for good reason. Bears, Giraffes, Dragons (not fire-breathing, unfortunately), and all other kinds of weirdly fascinating creatures keep children entertained while they learn. If you are looking for a family road trip adventure or an afternoon out of the house, check out our detailed ranking of the Best Zoos and their weirdest animals!
The methodology for this ranking is a combination of multiple factors including animal scarcity, special abilities, and an overall rating.
Hillary Miller, managing editor of RAVE Reviews, states, “This ranking is a lot of fun because it focuses on the exhibits that make each zoo unique. Who knew there were so many animals that most of us have never heard of? (Or that something called a Matschie’s Tree-kangaroo would be so cute?) We hope the article will encourage readers to visit their local zoos and to be a bit more curious about the animals that they see.”
