Baugher's Petting Zoo

Nestled in the picturesque town of Westminster, Maryland, Baugher's Petting Zoo offers a delightful and educational experience for all ages. Established in the late 1980s, our zoo began with just a few animals and has since grown into a beloved local attraction, featuring a diverse array of farmyard livestock and exotic animal friends.Animal Encounters:

At Baugher's Petting Zoo, visitors can enjoy close-up interactions with our friendly residents. Our animal family includes donkeys, chickens, lambs, pigs, turkeys, ducks, cows, rabbits, peacocks, emus, guinea fowl, and a large number of playful goats—our personal favorites! Guests can walk right into the zoo and be greeted by our animals, who are always eager for attention and treats.Feeding the Animals:

For those who wish to feed our animals, we have conveniently placed coin-operated food machines throughout the zoo. Additionally, bags of animal food can be purchased at our Orchard Market, located just up the hill from the zoo.Zoo Enhancements:

Over the years, we've continuously improved and expanded our facilities to enhance the visitor experience. New playgrounds, goat walks, expanded animal habitats, a charming gazebo, and increased pasture space are some of the many upgrades we've made. We are always adding new features, so there's something fresh to see with every visit.Orchard Market and Pick-Your-Own:

A short walk from the zoo, the Orchard Market offers a variety of fresh produce and seasonal delights. Visitors can also enjoy the "Pick-Your-Own" experience, with a selection of Honeycrisp Apples, Ruby Mac Apples, Yellow Peaches (Freestone), Yellow Nectarines, and Blackberries.
