This past month, there has been tremendous change in the zoo and aquarium world as many facilities open their gates to visitors for the first time in months. There are still a few stragglers left based on local conditions, but the reopening of New York City's facilities later this month is going to be a huge sign that things are reverting to normal (whether or not that is a good idea is something I suspect we'll all find out very soon).
Amidst all of the facilities reopening, it's worth not overlooking the fact that a major new facility is preparing to open its doors for the first time. The Mississippi Aquarium in Gulfport is nearing completion, with animals assembling and exhibits preparing to open. When it does open (an announcement is expected later this month), it will immediately take its place as one of the largest aquariums in the country.
Early renderings of exhibits look incredible, and I can't wait to see it... I mean, once travel for leisure becomes something that makes sense to do again, of course.
