Animal Adventures Family Zoo & Rescue Center, Bolton

It's not a zoo... There are no big habitats to stand in front of and wonder where the animals are hiding... There are cages and pens for animals that needed someplace to go and to be taken care of and you are incredibly close up to most of them. The staff was very friendly. The kids loved the animal show, they met and touched a ferret, lizard, chinchilla, snake and an alligator. It's a great place to visit... But don't expect a zoo.

The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. High five to Lisa and Brian for being so awesome during my visit over February break. The animals are well cared for and eat like royalty with local grocery store donations of fruits and veggies. The playground with wooden castle and ship structures are huge hits with my kiddos ages 7 and 4. There are employees around to let you pet the animals if you ask. It’s not a sad place like the zoo with sullen animals. These critters are living their best lives often with a missing eye, limb or tail. Being in the wild, they wouldn’t make it very long with their permanent injuries. Thanks for another fun day at Animal Adventures!
