    We visited the zoo for our first time on a sunny Sunday afternoon 2 or 3 weekends ago. We have a beach house in OC and had never visited this zoo before and kicked ourselves now for now doing so sooner! While it was a cold and breezy day, it was sunny and lots of people were out. Most of the animals were too (some Alpaca's even had coats on!). We got to see the Wallaby's, Jaguar, Burrowing Owls, Flamingos, Wild Turkeys, etc. The park is free and they do have donation boxes at the entrances/exits and we were glad to "chip in"! Lots of free parking at either ends of the zoo. See more..

    From bears and boas, macaws to monkeys, panthers to pythons, and alligators to zebra, amazing experiences and hundreds of exciting new exotic animal friends await you in this 50-acre park! Catoctin Wildlife Preserve features more interactive touch and feed opportunities than any other animal park in the region. Feel the silky soft fur of the chinchilla or the bumpy shell of a tortoise at daily educational talks. Or get nose to nose with camels, bison, ostrich, zebra and more on the optional Safari Ride. You will be welcomed by natural ponds, lush landscaping, and wandering Ambass-zoo-dors, eager to indulge inquisitive guests. These amazing animals are our extended family and vital ambassadors for their species. Through our personal style of exhibits and education, we know that they will be your extended family too.

  4. 5.0 Catoctin Creek Park & Nature Center (7 reviews)
    - Great Family Fun in the Great Outdoors
    Zoos • Parks
    Took the kids to and they had a blast. The nature center houses some live animals and educational toys and displays. After checking out the center, we walked the trails, explored a bit, then waded and swam in the creek. The kids were thrilled by the toads, tadpoles, turtles, crawfish... mud. Nature. Woohooo! There is also a playground - the (free) fun never ends! Could easily spend the whole day here if you're looking for some "unplugged" nature-y fun. Picnic tables, water fountains, and bathrooms available. A hidden gem and totally worth the trip! We will be back! See more..

    - Great time for the whole family
    Spent < 1 hour Zoos
    Breezy Hill Farm Alpacas image
    My Girl Scout troop had a wonderful time visiting Breezy Hill Farm. Heather was patient, kind, and informative. The animals were so friendly and fun to be around. And seeing how the wool is used was really neat, even for a bunch of hyper 6 year-olds. We had a wonderful time and I can't wait to come back! See more..
