This 200-acre 'walk-through' zoological park is home to the rare and beautiful. You'll encounter cougars, black bears, Bengal tigers, zebras, cheetahs and playful river otters. Kids can even go a bit wild on 'The Jungle Gym' playground. The Croft Center, named for the sisters who left the estate to Grassmere, houses the 'Unseen New World' exhibit and a variety of reptiles. There is also a working farm exhibit and petting zoo.
