Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
Zoo · Powell, Ohio
A very large zoo on the Scioto River north of Columbus, repeatedly ranked among the best in the United States and known nationally because its long-serving director spent three decades introducing its animals on American television. Colo, the first gorilla ever born in human care, was born here in 1956, and the gorilla programme has been central to the place ever since.
