Maryland Wilderness

My son and I attend the Zoo every year... Love It! God Bless All

Penguin Coast

It's great to see all of the animals up close. The kids really enjoyed their outing.

We love the zoo. Both of the kids get so excited when we say we are going there. My youngest who has CP really likes that the whole area is very accessible to him using his walker. I love that he can walk right up to the areas to look at the animals. WE got a membership this year and will hopefully be back often.

A great place to see penguins and stories at the Baltimore zoo. A terrific viewing area.

Went to chaperone my son's field trip. He and his classmates had a blast

If you or your child loves penguins, this is a great attraction to check out. There are usually about 50 or more penguins out hopping around, swimming, etc. A couple times each day they do a feeding, with a volunteer staff member narrating, sharing facts, and answering questions. You can also go into the penguin education center that's right behind it and learn additional facts, and watch the penguins swim from glass below the water line.

Sands Road Park

I plan on visiting this park soon . There was a ferry crossing the river at this location from early 1700's to the 1850's (Mount Pleasant Ferry ) . I found an old map showing there was a store near the river , along the ferry road .

It's a small park but they play basketball there sometimes.  Very peaceful and quiet. Nowhere to sit outside of your car though.  Not many people usually. Great spot to pull over and reply to text messages, lol.

This under used park is an excellent birding spot. It's essentially a large field surrounded by woods. When the field has been mowed, it's fairly easy going, but it can be  a little demanding when the grass is high.  Boots and bug juice are helpful. There are a couple of basketball courts, but no other facilities.
I haven't spent much time here in the Winter months, but Spring, Summer and Fall can be rewarding. It's reliable for Meadowlarks, Chats, Sparrows, Harriers, Prairie Warblers, Indigo Buntings, Common Yellowthroats and Grosbeaks. Friends tell me they find many more species.
It's only a mile or so from Wooton's Landing, and I often combine visits to both places in a single outing.

I wanted to rate it a 1-star, so we could keep it to ourselves! But it was such a great find - really enjoyed the open space and big skies!

This used to be a nice place until the trash from the area started hanging out drinking amd doing drugs. If you decide to chance this park watch out for used needles and crackheads.

Petting Zoo Ocala

A great place to spend the entire morning. It can get hot in the afternoon, so best time to visit is at opening, usually 10am. The animals are very friendly, and fun to mingle with. If you venture inside the enclosure with the goats and a llama, do not bring the feed bag with you! Goats will jump at you like puppies, but unlike puppies they don't have soft paws :) Feeding ostriches is possible too - you can just hold up an open feed bag, and they'll eat right from it. There are parrots, and a terrarium in the back. Don't forget to buy a feed bag!

It's a little pricey for a petting zoo for a family of 5, but it's worth it to walk around and see the animals!  Not a ton of shade, so plan accordingly when visiting!  Fun little petting zoo! The kids loved the different types of animals and how friendly the animals were acting!

Great for just adults or with the kids! You can buy a bag of treats to feed to the animals and most of them you can pet. It was a very peaceful fun afternoon.

Nice little roadside petting (and feeding) zoo. More like the farm you remember as a child up north. Most animals are rescues and given a good home. Yes there is poo and there are flies. Welcome to nature. It's an extraordinary opportunity to get up close and feed and interact with live animals. Affordable. Fun. Wonderful! Friendly employees.

This was a sweet little petting zoo. There were a lot of different animals, entry was very reasonable, and everything was very clean and well maintained. We loved feeding and petting so many animals and supporting a local business!

Plumpton Park Zoo

My 3yr grandson loves animals, so i decided to bring him here. It's much smaller than the MD zoo, however he was able to walk the entire zoo without needing to be picked up. All of the animals are rescues, so they don't appear to be in the best of health, but there were tons of caretakers and they all took great pride in caring fir them. We purchased some feed for the animals and he had a great time.

All the animals are friendly and often come near the gates.

They have specific animals to feed and times to feed their giraffe which only cost 5 dollars.

We spent 39 dollars through Local Flavor and spent around an hour and half there. It is a small zoo.

They have a cute gift shop and a snack area where you can purchase items.

Many of the animals here have been rescued which is so neat.

Definitely worth a trip.

Animals include:
Giraffe
Zebras
Camels
Porcupines
Lions
Black, grizzly and brown bears
Tigers
Pigs, chickens, horses, llamas, goatsand donkeys
Monkeys
Peacocks
Wallabies
And a few more

I've been here a couple times and really like this zoo. It's not the biggest, but you can tell the animals are very well cared for and the staff genuinely loves them. Today I saw a keeper talking sweet to the cougar (Nicole) and you could tell that this person genuinely loved her job.

I recommend getting a cup of animal feed at the entrance - there are so many to feed!

Disappointing. We chose this Zoo as an enjoyable activity for our young children to do with both sets of Grandparents, one of whom was visiting from overseas. It was a Thursday afternoon and unbeknownst to us, was during a time that they had decorated for halloween. Such a struggle to spend so much of our time trying to shield the children’s innocent eyes from the scary and creepy displays around the place! Our toddlers were confused and unsettled by the things they did see and that made my wife angry. We were there to enjoy the animals and time together as a family as this made it difficult. We were extremely disappointed!

We enjoyed our visit on a weekday. The animals seemed well taken care of and healthy. Very nice little zoo!The Sicilian donkey was my favorite.

3 Palms Zoo

As a grown adult who went with my adult friends and with no children in our group I had a blast! It’s a sweet little rescue/petting zoo with a mix of freely roaming animals and ones in pens. It’s inexpensive and conveniently located. They also do specialty evening events for Halloween and Christmas. I would very much recommend.

Love the new location, so much more space for the animals much cleaner! We went for an Easter egg hunt and had such a great time. The staff was super friendly and all the animals were so fun to see.

A very nice place to take the kids. There are a couple of alligators, peacocks and peahens, lama’s, goats, sheep, alpacas, turtles, pigs, and other animals. Two adults and one child costs $15 and you get a tray of animal feed for everything except the alligators. The donkey prefers to eat fingers.

This location doesn’t have any shade so it’s better to go on cloudy days, the morning or evening.

The zoo is a half mile from the road. When you get there you might think you are in the wrong place. There’s a porta potty near the entrance.

This place is not a zoo, they rescue the animals here. They take amazing care of them and they ask for a donation of anything you can give to come see the animals. I’ve been coming to this rescue for almost 6 years. I used to go to their old location and now their new one is even better. They went through something terrible with the tornado that ripped through last year. The geese are hilarious, one in particular greets you at the front entrance and begs for treats. His name is Gus. All of the animals here are sweet as anything and the employees are highly knowledgeable about each animal. I’ve had employees explain things to me without me even asking. It takes a special kind of person to do what these people do. 💜💜💜🙌🏻

We decided to take a motorcycle ride and discovered this place. They have plenty of land, all food and water bowls full. A large variety of rescue animals. I brought carrots, Zucchini and squash with me and they allowed me to feed the donkey Dominick and the tortoise. 6 bucks per person and that's just to help with the care and expenses to run the place. Worth supporting !
Porta potty on site, hand was on site, feed to buy, 1 dollar per cup of dry food.
We enjoyed it. 😊
The owners are loyal and dedicated to the welfare of these rescues. God bless them ! 🙏

Giraffe Ranch

If u haven't been here, it's a box you may wish to check and go see. This place may not be that big,but, wow, it's interesting and shows how much someone who cares about animals can do a wonderful job taking care of them. I know the money to get in is  ouch to the pocket book but is worth every cent u spend. This will be a place to see. Feeding a giraffe, yep, so loved that.

What an amazing way to celebrate our eight year anniversary! The owner was very hospitable and knowledgeable as we rode some amazing and friendly camels through the vast expanse of his property. Every employee was super friendly, and I highly recommend the lemur feeding as well! You can tell these animals are well cared for. The gift shop was also a treat. Very well maintained ranch with awesome staff and a great owner! We will be recommending this place to everyone we know. Thanks again!

The tour was an awesome little adventure for our local family and visiting out of towners. Reservation was easy to do online. When I needed to add one more person, I just called and was taken care of promptly-easy peasy.
The tour was engaging and informative. My teen nephews had lots of questions that Elena answered and her enthusiasm about the various animals, their care and history, and related topics was appreciated and made an awesome impression on the boys!  Elena was also very considerate to ensure my brother who has mobility challenges, and my 80 y/o aunt were able to see and participate and that they were comfortable. Definitely recommend this and I’ll be bringing more visitors through!

Don’t be concerned like we were when they didn’t open the gates right up until your tour time. It does look a little sketchy driving in but it is very much worth it. We enjoyed the otter feeding though it was quick, it was worth it because they were our favorite animals. You can tell the owners take pride in what they do and they have a wealth of knowledge on all the animals. The ride along safari was great because you were chauffeured around the land to be so many animals. We got close encounters and great pictures of all of them! It is pricey but worth the day trip out!

Very nice place to see and feed giraffes.  This is a private home ranch. You will be up close the animals. The owner took on the the tour and she was very knowledgeable and down to earth. This is a MUST DO if in the Tampa / Orlando area.

William Pollack Kerr Park

ZooTampa at Lowry Park

Had so much fun here everytime we were there. Our recent visit was during Christmas. Visited the Santa workshop. We got there around 3:30 and people were just forming the line. Santa here was so calm, gentle and friendly to the kids. Elf’s were so cute and engaged with every kid in the line leading to Santa. No rush just nice people. They didn’t rush anyone. I’m glad we were there even though we had no plans of being there. Photos were also very well taken and priced well.

Visited zoo Tampa over Christmas break and had a wonderful experience. Want to give a special shout out to the customer service folks working the morning shift on December 23rd.  We had an issue with a ticket (our fault not the zoo's but they were able to fix it so we could enjoy our day. As for crowds, it was not to busy early in the day but gradually filled by late afternoon.

An excellent zoo! Last time I went was 17 years ago when it was Lowry park zoo. So many amazing animals to see, multiple food choices, clean and well kept grounds and habits for the animals. So many different encounters to choose from and educational talks. Overall I’m extremely pleased with my visit today and can’t wait to take my son back again. I bought tickets online and walked right in, no wait on a Wednesday afternoon at 1pm.

We visited the Park using CityPass as we are not from the area.
The Zoo does not seem that big to me, but definitely had enough things to see and do for a few hours.

We arrived at the Zoo soon after it opened on Dec 26, 2023.  Parking was easy.

I like this Zoo for it allows visitors to see many animals up close!
One type of primates were very active.  They made a lot of noises.

The Expedition Africa ride probably does not worth the wait as it only showed you the stuffs that we can walk up to see.  The only upside was that there was a guide on the bus who can tell you more about the animals.  We waited an hour for this ride and the ride itself was about 30 min.

The Zoo has a water ride, which only had about 5 min wait time.  There were a few other little rides, but they were all closed.

The merry go-round was FREE!

The Zoo has a Florida section, Africa section, Asia section and an Australia section, which is coming.

The ride around Africa not worth the wait for us adults as we ended up walking to all areas later. We loved all the animals. Our favorites were the manatees and the orangutans, and Lorikeets. Saw feedings in these areas. Staff very engaging. Thanks to all that work so hard in caring for precious animals! We booked ahead and started at 9:30. We spent 6 hours there. Restaurant near main circle had great French dip sandwiches. Missed flyover with Macaws, canceled due to winds. Have to go another time.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

A really nice park to visit for a day. Some of the rides are a little rough, but all in all a lot of fun.

The Sesame Street kids area was wonderfully themed and had some great things for my son to do.

Security took a little while to get through but I think that is my biggest complaint. The food and beverages around the park were delicious.

I recently visited Busch Gardens in Tampa, and it was an incredible experience! The park is a perfect blend of thrilling rides and amazing animal encounters. The roller coasters like SheiKra and Cheetah Hunt were a blast, and the animal exhibits were both educational and entertaining.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the park was clean and well-maintained. The food options were diverse, and I particularly enjoyed the dining experience at Serengeti Overlook Restaurant. The landscaping and scenery throughout the park are stunning, making it a great place to enjoy a day outdoors.

Whether you're a thrill-seeker or looking for a fun family day out, Busch Gardens has something for everyone. I can't wait to return for more adventures and excitement. Highly recommended!

Went in mid-December. Perfect time to go. It was slow enough that we only waited 40 minutes for 2 rides. Best roller coasters!!!! Most refreshment stands were closed, exhibits were closed, and it just seemed dated. This is the reason for the 4-star. Worth the price for a black Friday deal.

It's fun for the whole family and you can and should spend the whole day there to also the night lights.
We were able to catch 2 shows: the ice skating and the magic one. There are several showtimes, but you should still check the schedules and arrive a little early to make sure you get places.
We enjoyed seeing the animals. It's best to come early to be able to see them all during the daytime.
I recommend bringing an empty water bottle so that you can fill it in the few available water fountains.
They are now going cashless.
Parking isn't free, unfortunately (about 35$). Some might find the whole experience expensive for what it is, so best to get tickets when they have discounts.

We had a lot of fun here. I grew up going to Six Flags in Georgia and the rides and everything here were so much better. My favorite was the cheetah coaster. I love how everything in the park is themed and decorated and all the foliage everywhere helped keep it cooler along with all the fans. They had some Halloween decorations up as well, that was cool to see.  We already want to come back again.
