We are pretty fortunate to live in central Pennsylvania and within a 4 hour drive, we have over 40+ wildlife parks and zoos within our area. We love getting the grandchildren for a weekend and taking a road trip to visit one of our local zoos.
A couple of months ago we took both of our grandchildren to Lake Tobias Wildlife Park in Halifax Pennsylvania. This particular park is about a 40 minute drive from our home and we make a point to visit it every year.
The park is a combination safari park, zoo and children’s petting zoo. As an adult, I love getting on their safari jeep and going out into the fields and woods to see all of their beautiful animals! You actually feel that you are on an African safari, but your here in the USA.
My grandchildren LOVE the petting zoo because they can get hands-on with the animals. They love to feed and pet them, especially the goats and the baby deer.
Like most animal parks…they do have your typical zoo area where you can walk around and see animals in their enclosures and on exhibit. I like visiting the big cats and the primates. My husband enjoys visiting the reptiles, but I admit, I don’t go near the snakes, so he always takes pictures of those for me. Ewww!
If you’re ever passing through Pennsylvania, make sure you check out and visit the Lake Tobias Wildlife Park in Halifax. It’s a really cool zoo and happens to be one of our favorite’s to visit on the east coast.
This zoo does sound nice. It would be fun to take my grandchildren to visit there when they are older.
I so love visiting wildlife parks and zoos. You are so lucky to have 40 + in your area I sure wish we had more in our area. I so love animals and enjoy feeding them. I would love to feed the baby deer. Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures.
Yep, I feel the same way about snakes, ha! I would just steer clear of them. But the rest of the animals would be a lot of fun to see.
Looks like a neat place to take your grandkids. I haven’t been to our zoo in a long time.
Sounds like a nice Zoo. It is so nice that there are so many zoo’s and attractions within 40 miles of where you live. You always have some place to take your Grand Kids. You are definitely making Beautiful Memories .. :O)~~ We used to go to Brookfield Zoo almost every Year. We loved it and so did the kids…
