Originally a humble menagerie with a collection of birds and squirrels, Caldwell Zoo is now an 85-acre zoo with thousands of animals from Africa and the Americas. Highlights include a two-acre North American Plains exhibit, a children's petting zoo, and an African Savannah home to elephants, giraffes, and lions. Between March and November, there's also an aviary filled with colorful wild birds. For an additional fee, visitors can participate in a penguin encounter or take a guided tour of the reptile exhibition space, which include a one-on-one encounter with one of the animals on display.
