Clean, not too crowded. V ery good exhibits and they are doing a lot of work at this time to make life better for both the animals and attendees.

Would give zero stars if I could. I came from North Carolina visiting Massachusetts, and wanted to take my kids to the zoo so my little one could see the animals. When I looked at the pictures, the place looked beautiful with a variety of different animals, a splash pad for my toddler, and cheap tickets. When we went, we left about 10 to 15 minutes later after arriving. There were around 12 animals, Lions, emu, alpaca, goats, red fox, 2 otters, a snake, and only a couple others i don’t remember the name for. When I looked at the website it stated that they had animals like zebra, rhinos, and other REGULAR zoo animals which as far as I saw was false advertisement. They have extremely small enclosures for the animals, even for the lions even though there is a male and a female inside. They also take care of their animals cheaply. Like for example when we went to go see a some type of tiny fox, they literally had coffee canisters with newspapers inside of them and the kong treat toys that are used for dogs inside their enclosure. They have a bunch of things closed and some have signs saying that more animals are supposedly coming soon. This is NOT a zoo. The zoo itself is also small too. I would try and get my money back if it wasn’t such a hassle. I DO NOT recommend this backyard BARN.

Small zoo that could be really good if all the animals were ever available. This last visit at least three of the exhibits were closed including the rain forest and sea otters. They do have a nice playground outside the zoo and they have a lion but I feel like it gets worse every time we go. $9 entry fee for adults, $7.50 for kids.

It is a great way to spend a couple hours as a group visiting the exhibits and capturing a few fun photos. Have returned several times over the years. Also the adjacent park areas we have used for small group picnics. We usually leave the gift shop with one new plush friend to bring home. Today it was "Rocky" the River Otter! Last time "Foxy".

You are better off getting the season pass. Family of 5 daily admission cost me over $45.00 then we upgraded to a season pass for an addition $40.00 and we can go as often as we wish.

Hi, I work with special needs individuals, do you charge for a nonprofit organization?

Kelly Horton | Aug 12, 2022
Ron Chamberlin | Aug 19, 2022

I suggest you call the Zoo office directly. If you are based in Attleboro or perhaps work with ARC, I will assume they will take care of you. My son is at a group home in Attleboro and us a frequent guest there and loves it.

Barbara Frechette | Sep 2, 2020
Carol Konvalinka-Connolly | Sep 2, 2020

The park itself is open to the public and free. The zoo within the park charges daily fees or membership rates.

Is The Zoo Open until 4:00 pm or 5:00 pm Because 1 website for the zoo says it's open until its 4:00 pm and another website says it's open until 5:00 pm. So witch one is it
