“Why would anyone go to the zoo this chol hamoed?”
some people like zoos, many children do and even adults.
” The only day that it’s not an erev something is Thursday”
There is no issur to go to a zoo on Erev shabbos or yom tov
” and why waste it going to the zoo ”
Again, some people like the zoo
“(especially since the Bronx zoo is only free on Wednesday)”
Wednesday is yom Tov, Orthodox Jews dont generally travel on yom tov, so the free zoo on Wednesday doesn’t help us. Plus many live far away from teh Bronx zoo, so much so that it may be cheaper than paying for their local zoo than to travel to the free Bronx zoo
