市民动物园


Explanation:
既然这个概念与“王室动物园”是parallel,平行的关系,那么是否也可以用“市民”/“公众”来对应bourgeois呢?

“中产阶级动物园”也没有问题,但作者在这里用bourgeois一词,是否为了强调两种动物园面向的受众不同?前者供王室成员游览,后者则面向更广阔的人群

常规动物园


Explanation:
The word " bourgeois" has several meanings. Sometimes it denotes "conventional". So I think "bourgeois zoos" may refer to 常规动物园 (conventional, traditional or old zoo) comparing to the world modern zoos. Nowadays we normally don't use the expression " 中产阶级" in our lives. Surely, it may depend on the concrete context.
