Reviews
"Awesome tiny zoo! Park was easy to navigate, affordable, and lots of neat faces to see."
"I went to an after hours event. It was a great evening. There were lots of opportunities to see the different animals throughout the zoo. I spent a large amount of time watching the red panda who are not related to Panda but both love bamboo, the lynx, the seal, the coyote (Molly), and Black and White Tegu ( Frankie)...The animal ambassadors and human ambassadors really made it special. A great community resource for the area. Oh I saw the following other animals: Forbes Sea Star, Lionfish, Spotted Garden Eels (They were fun to watch hide in the sand and how they camouflage themselves), ducks and geese, moon jelly (really cool) and of course one of the Elephants (Ruth?)."
"For a smaller zoo, this Zoo is perfect. Always clean and welcoming. I have been taking my daughters here since they were very young, they are now older and still love going. I had my youngest daughters 14th birthday here as well and it was very well organized. Definetly recommend for a fun visit or to have an amazing party."
"Beautifully landscaped, well taken care of animals, loved the environment here, no crowds too. The animals were adorable, the nature park was a really cool place to play with the kids. There’s a lot of seating around the zoo with shade too. Would definitely visit again"
"We visited during the week of April school vacation and the crowds were very minimal. We only experienced a small wait due to understaffed for the train & carousel rides with one gentleman rotating back and forth for service. Considering these two events were the busiest he managed the crowd with ease. This is by far not the best zoos MA has to offer but it’s close to us being on the Cape and for the size it definitely has a host of some pretty cool animals that most importantly seem to be happy with their captivity environment. Overall this zoo is definitely worth visiting and even revisiting"
