Claws 'N' Paws Wild Animal Park

Address: 1475 Ledgedale Rd, Lake Ariel, PA 18436, United States

Welcome to Claws 'N' Paws Wild Animal Park, a unique open-air zoo nestled in the scenic woodlands of the Poconos, PA. Our park offers visitors the chance to explore shaded woodland trails and discover over 120 rare and exotic animal species from around the world. This family-friendly destination is perfect for animal lovers and those looking to enjoy an educational and fun experience.

At Claws 'N' Paws, you can expect a natural and spacious environment, complete with dirt trails and well-maintained animal enclosures. Our park is designed to keep the surroundings as natural as possible, with plenty of trees and a clean, inviting atmosphere.

One of the highlights of your visit will be the opportunity to feed our friendly giraffes for a reasonable fee of $3. We also offer scheduled shows and interactive experiences, including a petting area where you can get up close to goats and baby deer. Please note that the petting area can be a bit adventurous, so we recommend wearing old clothes as our playful goats might nibble on your attire.

For your convenience, we have a Snack Bar on-site, which is currently cash-only. Feel free to bring your own picnic lunch and enjoy a meal amidst nature. Our park is easily accessible for strollers and elderly visitors, making it a suitable outing for all ages.

Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to welcoming you this summer! Plan your visit today and book your tickets online to ensure a memorable day at Claws 'N' Paws Wild Animal Park.

William Aho:

"Absolutely amazing small zoo, Had a wonderful time taking my two granddaughters there, my granddaughter had such fun feeding all the animals, her favorite was Jethro!!! Definitely will be making more visits. It's not only a place for kids but adults can have fun there also. The only downside is the rocky pathways through most of the area, if you have an all terrain stroller that's highly recommend."

"The one star is for the staff. They were friendly, knowledgeable and seemed to care about the animals. That’s where the positivity ended. The animals are kept in small enclosures with very little if anything at all for mental stimulation. Many of the animals appeared really visibly stressed. They also seemed to be heavily medicated. The enclosures don’t really seem entirely safe and it looked fairly easy for an escape if they really tried. Many pacing back and forth to the point where you actually get anxiety just watching them. This place could be great if they had decent habitat space for the animals. It’s cool that you get to essentially hike through the woods but as it is now, this place is a sad example of animal exploitation."

"I completely understand the pricing for this place just due to animal care staff pay and the economy. I will say when pulling in you can’t tell that there’s additional parking right away and the tree lines in need of some trimming. I will say everyone was friendly and animals seemed healthy. They’re honest about their rocky pathways definitely not easy for any handicapped but I did see some visitors in wheelchairs. If the pathways could be improved or loose large rocks removed would greatly help. The animals enclosures seemed very bare and rocky and some seemed too small for them. Like I said all animals seemed healthy. Just looks like a work in progress and hope they keep improving."

"This is a great little zoo. There's a lot to see and fun experiences to be had. You can feed a giraffe, tortoises, lorikeets. Also, there's a Dino dig and petting zoo. Definitely a must see."

"Pretty decent little zoo. Had all our favorite small cats and plenty of close up experiences for the kids. Definitely worth a trip if you're in the area. Note: If you have mobility issues, some of the paths might be a little too rough as they are packed earth and have some rocks."
