In 2015, a visitor to the Cincinnati Zoo captured this simple moment: people gathered at the zoo's lake on a November afternoon. For millions of Americans, the zoo remained a free or low-cost escape—a place to spend leisure time outdoors, observe animals, and be together without much planning or expense.

You walk past the ticket booth and into the zoo grounds. The November air is cool but not cold. Ahead, the lake glimmers. People stand at the railing, some alone with their thoughts, others pointing things out. A child tugs at a parent's sleeve. Nobody's rushing. There's just water, sky, and time to notice things.
