A small but fun animal filled park perfect for families looking to get out of the house and explore with their littles in low cost places. It was somewhat stroller friendly, but I recommend a wagon as it is rocky and unpaved. It was not crowded which was a plus. The kiddos loved the roaming peacocks!
What a great little fund!
Reasonably priced and plenty of free parking. Not big and overwhelming but an excellent experience. My son was a huge fan of Ozzy the monkey, while I would have loved to snuggle a fox. There was a nice array of animals and even a reptile house. We would definitely go back if we're ever in the area again.
I cannot recommend Popcorn Park Zoo enough as a wonderful place to have your child’s birthday party! We had my son’s 6th birthday party there this weekend! Their instructor was amazing and coordinating was SO easy! Plus, the money for the party goes towards a good cause! The kids had an animal ambassador experience in the picnic area, ate and then went into the zoo! Such a great experience! 10/10 would recommend! Ages ranged from 1-6 and all had a great time!
“We visited Popcorn Park Zoo with our whole family and were absolutely delighted! This place is truly special — it’s home to animals that have been rescued and given a second chance at life. The atmosphere is so warm, and it’s clear how much love and care goes into every animal here. The grounds are clean, well maintained, and everything is organized to be interesting for both children and adults. Our daughters were thrilled to see the animals up close, and for us as parents it was especially meaningful to show them how important it is to care for and help animals. You can really feel the heart and mission of this place. We will definitely come back again and recommend it to all our friends!”
One of the best uses for land is this excellent refuge for abandoned animals. Absolutely all proceeds go to the facility and its inhabitants. An incredible amount of love, dedication and hard work go into making this sanctuary a safe haven and a wonderful place to educate about animal welfare. Highly recommend.
