Attention Tour Group! We have added another zoo to the list! I am proud to introduce you to the Minnesota Zoo - a park that needs to go on your bucket list as soon as possible. A lot could be said about what's featured in the zoo's 485 acres, but I want the tours to speak for themselves. Just as it would as you go through those gates, the first of the zoo's major sections on your path is the Tropics Trail - One of America's First Indoor Rainforests! A winding track invites you to escape the cold, and venture into the lush, and humid environments of Africa's, Asia's, South America's, and even the Ocean's biodiversity hotspots. On this episode, a tapir lifts its trunk and shows us their smile, a Gibbon teaches the crowd how most apes ACTUALLY drink, you won't believe where the zoo used to have their Dolphins, and we get to finally learn what a Urial is. Please enjoy our first look at this very underrated facility.

This is pure nostalgia as a born and raised Minnesotan. My family lives 5-10 minutes from the zoo. We had a yearly membership and I spent many a hours there growing up. Back when the dolphins were the main attraction and the indoor bird show was popular. The opening of the IMAX theater, new "petting zoo" and MN Trail. Along with the closing of the monorail. I thought the SES is where you learned to become a zookeeper.
A lot has changed since that time. I still remember how surreal it felt during my last visit even though it's been years. The dolphins have long been gone, the indoor bird theater was replaced by the penguin exhibit, and the IMAX is now sitting vacant. I was glad to hear the monorail line was converted to a treetop trail. It looked quite depressing just sitting there unused for so long.
Minnesotan here. If I could expand the Tropics Trail, I’d love to see some more Aussie representation in this zoo. I’m talking about Saltwater Crocodiles, Southern Cassowaries, Echidnas, White-Lipped Tree Frogs, and Fly River Turtles.
Man, I really LOVE this zoo. I used to go every summer growing up when I’d visit my grandparents. Thanks for the blast of nostalgia
I remember they used to house Sun Bears where they have the African animals.
Alongside former residents of the zoo were meerkats and an aardvark
That was awesome! A lot more going on in that building than I would have imagined.
Can't wait to see more of the Minnesota Zoo
Fun Fact: The entire tropics trail area used to be an ocean themed area before discovery bay opened. The bottlenose dolphins used to be there before being moved to discovery bay in what is now the monk seal tank. Theres even a few fish left over from that trail still living at the zoo. But it ended with then the zoos star attraction, a pair of beluga whales in what is now the indoor bird show.
Awesome video! I’m super exited you visited my home town zoo, and I believe faces of the rainforest used to be a sun bear habitat.
Yeah, my state's zoo represented!!! I love the Minnesota Zoo always a fun time and constantly being improved, the Russian Coast is always my first stop. Also check out the Como Zoo in St. Paul, it's smaller, but it's harbor and gorilla habitats are amazing, plus it's free admission.
I had an idea for a video:
Maybe every April Fools, you can do a tour of your least favourite exhibits to trick everyone.
That's actually not a bad idea
@@ZooTourssounds fun 😏
@ZooTours Great video ^^. Will we be seeing the other episodes of the Minnesota zoo soon?
Seconded
Awesome Zoo !!!!
Amazing exhibit!!!
This reminds me of a bigger, wide scale version of the biodome in Montreal! It's so fascinating to see all these species under one roof, literally! Great tour 💚
Awesome review of this zoo mate!! I have fingers and toes crossed to visit some of these revolutionary zoos in the future!!
I really enjoyed this video, I love the designs that made to a lot of these habitats!
Great video
This place is amazing!! Definitely going to have to buy some plane tickets to check it out. Thank you for the videos!
I've never seen gibons share a habitat with other animals other than the occasional wild sparrow. Very cool
You gotta come out to the Okc zoo sometime main we are doing huge remodels! Heck we even have a zip line you can ride now!!
This is great! Also this is one of the most intergang thumbnails yet!
Cool !
Dang this is one of the best areas I’ve ever seen.
Friend of mine is a Vet Tech at the Minnesota Zoo. Another friend of mine used to take care of the Tapirs and Fruit Bats
Just love these cute #shorts
I wish that I lived in Minnesota, because this zoo rocks.
I remember when the Komodo dragon escaped like 15 some years ago and ate a flamingo.
It was the other way around. The flamingos flight feathers had grown back.
Ahh yeah! My favorite at what is my hometown zoo, the tapir! I named my 1st teddy bear after the one at Minnesota Zoo around 28 years ago. Still have the teddy feet from where I sit at this moment. I'm not sure if it was the bat cave exhibit, but I think that used to be where they had a sun bear which was interesting.
Yes, the old sun bear exhibit was replaced by the colobus/De Brazza's monkey/hog exhibit, and the bat cave and false gharial exhibit replaced an old jaguar cage that dated to the zoo's opening.
Stupendous! Which zoo are you going to visit next for Episode 108? And try visiting the Woodland Park Zoo, Oakland Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Monterey Bay Aquarium, SeaWorld San Diego, Bearizona Park, Sacramento Zoo, San Francisco Zoo, Happy Hollow Park & Zoo, & Disney's Animal Kingdom someday! Honking Herrerasaurus!🐻
Also for the empty Visayan Warty Pig & red panda exhibits, they should put babirusas & binturongs in them!
My goodness the Nostalgia
When I was little my parents took me and my sister to the Minnesota zoo every weekend
Even in winter where we would stop in and look at the macaques, walk through the tropics trail, Minnesota trail and the discovery bay.
This is my local zoo the Malayan tapir shares its habitat with a tree kangaroo but I’ve only seen it once
Not quite as impressive as some of the other indoor rainforests I've seen on this channel, but very nice all the same. The gibbon habitat, aquarium, and aviary were the highlights for me.
Zoo tours: YOU SHOULD VISIT THIS ZOO
Me who lived in the other side of the world: Well, I want to
Do a tour of Como zoo I’m a volunteer and we just got our show started again after construction it’s in Minnesota also hi from Minnesota USA.
