I am very torn about beardsley zoo. The grounds are beautiful and you can tell the animals are very well taken care of. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful when you can find the. Prices for drinks and what not are very reasonably. But on the other hand it is a zoo. Enclosures seamed small for the bigger animals. The tigers were beautiful but their area to Rome including shelter was no bigger than my yard which is about 1/4 of an acher. In the wild tigers territory can be 50 square miles or more. I think this is a fundamental problem with zoos in general. I know there is lots of knowledge to be gained by studying animals up close, bit to mention the conservation of endangered ones, but I still feel bad for their limited space they are allotted.
