Great experience. Sad but they do the best they can and staff is extremely personable. A1tleast from who 1i was in contact with. Take a map with you if you never been so you can see the best way for you to start.

Just the absolute best park ever. They upgraded the food barn to now have salads, wraps, and sandwiches (PB and J for kids too). Ice cream, drinks, and various snacks n candy as they have always had. Quick visits are nice and you can see the whole park in about an hour, or really long visits to just touch base with all the buildings and really take in the beauty and viewing of the animals. Bring quarters to feed the fish 😁

Arrived at the opening of the day. The staff at the park were friendly and knowledgeable. Signs throughout the park with information about the animals, plants and trees. Easy walking. Good place to visit with all ages. A very enjoyable time.

Had a great time and it wasn't too crowded on a Saturday afternoon. Beautiful place with a neat selection of wildlife. The albino deer and golden eagle were both so cool to see and my favorite was definitely all of the wild cats. Neat to see all the chipmunks, squirrels and birds that also chose the park as their place to live.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Are there benches throughout the park for resting while walking?

Heather Perreault | Aug 24, 2019
Leanne Riley | Aug 24, 2019

As I recall there were a few benches like near the bears but not in every animal area. There is a lot of walking. When you first enter there are several picnic tables spread widely apart. Nice for a private picnic. But don't recall there being benches near the large deer enclosure Nor near the moose large cats or birds. Best to bring a small portable stool if you are an adult that needs to rest your legs or a wagon to pull if the kids need a place to sit.

Why does it say that it's open?? Its closed until April13

Black wolf 142 | Aug 24, 2019
Essentially Angelyn | Aug 24, 2019

I honestly dont know. Ive been back in Sanford for awhile. ;)

Would it be good idea to go and see the animals this time of the year ? Never been just wondering how the pathes and if it worth the drive and see thank you..

Patrick Currier | Aug 24, 2019
Stosh Spoors | Aug 24, 2019

Probably not a good idea until the weather warms up a bit and the mud dries up. Some of the trails could be bad. Also, if you are expecting a zoo-like facility, you will be disappointed. The displays are limited, and in some cases the animals are not in very good shape.
