Review & FAQ:
Charles Paddock Zoo is favored by families who want to spend the day outdoors meeting an array of wildlife. The five-acre community zoo initially opened in 1955 and has been at its current location since 1963. There are over a hundred animals, in varying species, for you to see and learn about during your visit - including Menderu, a male Malayan tiger. Other animals you can see while you’re there are titi monkeys, prehensile-tailed porcupines, lemurs, tortoises, pythons, and bullfrogs. Ornithology aficionados will be excited at the opportunity to see birds such as the blue and gold macaws, Sulawesi ground doves, and Caribbean flamingos.
