Make a genuine connection that will last a lifetime as you venture through Animal World & Snake Farm Zoo, where you will experience hands-on encounters with some of your favorite furry, feathery, hairy, and scaly friends. You may even get a chance to hold some of these beautiful animals, if they are up to it, of course. As you stroll through the grounds you’ll see the Clawed Otters, Black Mambas, Blue Headed Macaws, Fennec Foxes, Grey Wolves, Jaguars, Spotted Hyenas, and snakes galore, all unique in their own ways. While you're at it, catch a perfect view of the bison and longhorn as you take a break under the shaded deck. Stop by Two Rivers Mining, Co., the Zoo’s very own gemstone mine for an incredible opportunity to pan for gemstones, fossils, crystals, and shark teeth!
