Location Details
Connecticut’s Beardsley Zoo is a wonderful place to visit with walking paths throughout its 40+ acres and additional trails in the surrounding 150 acres at Beardsley Park. Spend an hour or the whole day and see more than 300 animals representing primarily North and South American species. Come learn about our many endangered and threatened species and see our South American rainforest with free-flight aviary and the prairie dog exhibit. Visit the New England Farmyard and take a walk along the hoofstock trail featuring bison, pronghorn, deer, and more. Before you leave, grab a bite at the Peacock Café, eat in the Picnic Grove, and take a ride on our carousel. We can't wait to see you!
