Hi I'm kaleigh an I am a zooteen at the zoo. I am so happy you enjoyed the zoo. The buildings are now open. Thank you for visiting and supporting us. B
Thank You for the update on reopening. I most definitely enjoyed my visit and am happy to support this great zoo. 😊
Two comments (besides another great job):
1. Your shot of the Centennial poster reminded me of this. The Toledo Zoo nearly closed in the early 1980s. The staff was down to 24 at one point, and several buildings were closed. Hard to imagine now that it is a truly world-class zoo. A lot has to be said for the zoo managers of the era and the residents of Lucas County.
2. Many of the older buildings like the Amphitheater and Museum of Science were WPA projects. I know that the amphitheater is a historic landmark, and I think others are as well.
I am not trying to be a Know-It-All, but I think it is important to remember how tenuous the existence of so many zoos, aquariums and museums is. Many today survive only through a dedicated tax levy or outside events such as weddings. They may well be gone tomorrow if we neglect them.
Thanks David, I completely agree. Support your local zoo's and aquariums. I've seen my local zoo change so much over the years.
Your narration and care for the animals truly make your tour videos fantastic.
Thank You, I try to make my tours informative and entertaining.
@@TomsRoadTrippin I only recently came across your channel and I showed Husband a few of your videos, we both feel you do a fantastic job showcasing the animals and the zoos.
I have been going to this zoo since the 50s....love it.
I really enjoyed my time at the Toledo zoo. I can see why you'd visit it frequently.
22:58 the big blue fish you asked about are called discus.
There's also some cardinal tetras, lambchop rasboras, and ember tetras in the back.
Great video and love the zoo.
Good eye, Thank You. I miss things sometimes as I'm usually looking through a screen. My viewers tend to spot things I've missed.
Wow, the Toledo zoo looks fantastic! Definetly somewhere I'd want to be!
It's a really nice zoo, I enjoyed my visit very much.
The Toledo zoo will always be one of my favorite zoos of all time and i have that opinion because i remember going to the Toledo zoo as a child and hearing everybody zooin it the tunnel song
Sorry I ment the bridge not the tunnel
The Toledo Zoo is very unique, having portions on both sides of the highway.
Yes it is @@TomsRoadTrippin
i went there last month, all of the exhibits were open when i went there. with that being said it really is a fantastic zoo.
The only section not open when I was there was the primate trail.
I went as a kid and it was so fun then and I was sad I didn’t get to be in the area after years of the aquarium being under renovations but it’s nice to see it and relive the memories at the time it was more lively they’d do cheeta runs the wolf den the moray eel the sea horses they glowing flashing fish and the walkway that had birds in it
I am happy my tour brought back good memories for you. I hope you'll get a chance to go back someday to enjoy all of the improvements.
Nice zoo. Love there Aquarium.
Really nice zoo, the aquarium was fantastic 😃

I love this zoo! Just visited for the first time a couple of weeks ago.
Very nice zoo, the aquarium was fantastic.
Great zoo really love this zoo
They really pack a lot into a smaller space. I enjoyed the experience.
I grew up in Toledo and have been there dozens and dozens of times. I wish they would do another review now after the Covid restrictions. Do a review during the summer when everything is open! I have not been there in 30 years so a lot has changed but its a world class zoo
I'll work on doing another tour next time I'm going through Ohio
Thank you so much for your response 😊 I'll watch for your new visit ❤
The Galapagos Gardens are so peaceful
Very tranquil and nice
I worked there from 2017 to 2021, and I miss it. A lot.
What made you leave the zoo? It's a fantastic zoo, I enjoyed my visit very much.
@@TomsRoadTrippin I got a better paying job at the Toledo Metroparks, and the zoo had to limit the number of hours me and my coworkers worked each month.
@@RavenclawFtW3295 I can totally understand leaving a job for better pay and more hours.
This is my home zoo!
Ohio has so many fantastic zoo's your very fortunate to have one of my favorite zoo's near by.
I visited the zoo while my pops was visitng the hospital today.
That's a great way to spend the day. I hope you enjoyed yourself.

16:09 waldrapp ibis not Kenya crested guineafowl
Thank You for the correction, I was too focused on filming I didn't even notice the wrong bird was on the sign. Apparently they share that habitat.
And the Toledo Zoo has both
Sooo.. I only have time to see 2 zoos in Ohio on my trip. Which 2 do you reccomend? Cleveland, Cincinatti, Toledo, or Columbus?
That's a tough choice, they are all good. I enjoyed thr Columbus zoo and Toledo zoo the best. My suggestion is to watch all 4 tour vids I made and choose based on what you'd enjoy most at each zoo.
@@TomsRoadTrippin will do. Thank you for the reply! Great video by the way
@@retttixgaming4273 Thank You, I hope you have fun at the two zoo's you choose to visit.
Don’t go to Toledo the fucking employees are very very rude too long a story but don’t waste your time you will be disappointed
someone did a video on the that aviary thanks to zoo tours
Yeah I'm hoping the avian flu is past by the time I start doing more zoo's next year.
You need to go to Dickerson park zoo
I'll add it to my list, thanks
Tom's Road Trippin you kind of missed it it’s in Missouri
The fish 23:15. THey're called discus fish. their from the amazon river, and the adults produce mucus on their sides to feed their babies.
Thanks for the identification, I wasn't aware of the mucus feeding.
@@TomsRoadTrippin Anytime. I'm training as zoo keeper and a wring a book about zoo animals.
that pig was getting a noice scratch
Yeah, nothing better then a good scratch 😬
What exhibits were open and what exhibits were closed
The primates trail was closed, everything else was open.
What zoo are you going to do Next
This Thursday will be Part 2 of the Toledo Zoo. The following Thursday will be from Wild Florida Safari Park.
Whaf kind of sheep were with the goats
I tried to find out, only info I get is they are 🐑
Are you going to Do part 2 next Thursday
Yes Aidan, part 2 will be Thursday
Tom was there a children’s zoo where you can pet the animals
The petting zoo area wasn't available
ew you wanna pet children. gross
😕 Not me
They shouldn't keep Nile crocodiles in that exhibit they might kill the herbivores and lions are together too
The crocodile is fake
The Crocodile and Lion are statues, to make the habitat more authentic I guess.
@@noahbutas0321 It looks real.
Its so scary
@@TomsRoadTrippin oh so they had lions and crocs separate exitibth
@@TomsRoadTrippin ok I was kinda scared I love animals and ofcourse zoo won't let them die
23:16 discus fish
Thanks for the identification, very suitable name indeed.
What exhibits did you see in part 1
Africa!, Aquarium, Arctic Encounter, The Rescue Roost, Kingdom of the Apes and Penguin Beach. Primate Forest was closed.
The giraffe sign at the ToledoZoo said recutilated and Masai giraffe
They had both types of giraffe
Masai Giraffe only. There is an informational sign that explains differences.
24:59
Were these your favorite animals?
Can you do the LA zoo? When you can
Not sure when I'll be back to the Western 🇺🇸 but I'll be sure to visit as much as possible.
Some of the cages in the Toledo zoo are small that’s why I prefer Omaha’s Henry Doorly zoos aquarium and I also think it’s better than San deigo and it’s not my hometown zoo so no bias
I'm waiting for the pandemic stuff to be over before visiting the Henry Doorly Zoo.
Tom's Road Trippin oh
Tom's Road Trippin dis you go to the wilds in Ohio
23.16 Discus fish
Thanks for the identification, very aptly named fish 😁
Bonehead shark! Lmao. Its bonnet head shark.
😅 WOW, that was a Big error. Sometimes I get the names wrong while filming as I'm looking through the camera. I'll be sure to pronounce it correctly next time.
Can you please name the next 10 zoos you are going to
Wild Florida
Virginia Zoo
Mesker Park Zoo
Columbian Park Zoo
Washington Park Zoo
Potawatomi Zoo
Fort Wayne Children's Zoo
Can you please name the next 20 zoo’s you’re going to
My list above is as far out I have right now
There is not that much walking it’s only 55 acres
It's a midsized zoo, still lots of walking. The indoor exhibits take time to go through.
