From bears to boas, lions to lemurs, macaws to monkeys, porcupines to pythons, you'll meet
over 450 exotic animals on your Zoo adventure.
Wonderful adventures and exciting new animal friends
await you
in our newly enlarged park - now over 50 acres.
Up-close exhibits and personal information make you feel
like one of the family. Get stalked by a tiger, jaguar or
lion and live to tell the tale. Feel the breath of a bear, follow a fallow deer, or tickle a tortoise. Hand-feed goats,
sheep, donkeys, llamas, ducks and
other curious creatures
in the petting area.
Catch an animal show to laugh with a parrot, take a "snap" shot with an alligator, or feel the grip of a python's muscles.
Safely meet and touch a luxurious chinchilla,
prickly hedgehog or rough lizard. Always something new to see or do!
Now open! The Global Wildlife Safari Ride, a guided woodland ride through our new 25 acre paddocks for large herbivores like Zebra, Bison, Camels, Deer, Ostrich, Asian and African antelope, wild sheep and more.
This is a fun, feeding and "foto" opportunity. All riders must be at least 36" tall and children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. (Sorry, FuFeFo is not suitable for guests with mobility issues. For safety reasons, babies and guests under 36" tall will not be allowed on the ride.)
All tours are subject to availability and do not include park admission. Park admission is required. Prices are subject to change without notice. Prices listed are per person and do not include tax. Animal interactions may vary.
Are you “wild” about someone? Can't “bear” the thought of another ho-hum gift? Then give the gift that keeps on eating, sleeping and playing from the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve and Zoo.
