Comments

  • the animals always die
  • This is a wonderful facility to bring all ages to. It is interactive and not so big that you will be overwhelmed. It was named "One of the finest small zoos in the country.", by the American Zoological Association. You can go from the Berkshires to the sea in one segment, step back into a traditional New England farm with some of the rarest breeds of animals dating back to George Washington’s arrival and much much more. I have always enjoyed and still do my visits as this is one of New Bedford's hidden gems!
