The 110-acre Plumpton Park Zoo is relatively new. It began as a small, private collection of animals and evolved into a zoo in late 1986 due to strong public demand. The Zoo offers a variety of family programs and events. One is the popular Summer Safari , a series of week-long educational programs presented during the summer. Kids and parents actually get to handle the smaller animals.
Teachers can call to arrange a program.
Food concessions and picnic areas available. Maryland exit 100, for Rt. About 6 miles to Rt. 1 mile to Zoo.
