I had an absolutely fabulous time visiting Animal Adventures. The facility is quite spacious with outdoor and indoor animal exhibits. They also have onsite parking, various indoor/outdoor seating, and a playground. You can also buy pellet at the check in counter to feed the goats and cows. I went for the otter experience and it was truly worth every penny. The online booking process was seamless as was check-in. I had a private room with two otters and their caretaker. The otters were rambunctious but it made for such a fun and memorable visit. You could tell that they're very loved and well cared for. All of the staff that I encountered were very friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and very kind to the animals. I would highly recommend this business to other animals lovers who are seeking a unique experience. read more

We booked an owl adventure for two, and were not disappointed! The owls were beautiful if a little skittish at first. Dean, our guide was great with them and super informative. We learned a ton about the owls and got to interact with them up close- as well as getting some epic pictures! The outdoor play area was really great for kids and I can't wait to come back with my grandkids. I was totally overwhelmed by the variety of animals they had- totally unexpected for a fairly small operation. We interacted with other employees as well including Captain Brian and Ron(?) who gave us a wonderful tour of several areas and animals. I have read some bad reviews here about enclosure sizes- of course we would all love to see these creatures running free in the wild, but many (most?) of these animals are injured and cannot survive in the wild. Others (Diego) have had their enclosure size limited (prescribed) by veterinarians to minimize additional strains on their injuries. I was especially moved by the way every employee I saw interacted with each animal. They respected them, spoke to each animal by name, and showed genuine love and affection for every creature there. I think if I could recommend an improvement, it would be more signage. There were several cages that weren't labeled, or didn't have a backstory listed. I definitely would like more information! Overall, I would definitely support this business and I will be back! I highly recommend you check this gem out too. read more

before the owner says i have the wrong place, i 100% dont. I was there a few weeks ago in hopes of supporting a smaller business that I was hoping was what It claimed to be, it wasn't at all. the kangaroos have a pathetic sign infront claming "we are happy!!" well it's apparent they are not?? so that's a very lame excuse. I have 3 guinea pigs and was HORRIFIED about both enclosures for them, somehow they made petco look good. which we all know isn't. If this owner really does have any knowledge is zoology then i guess I can be an astronaut because I watched a space movie and enjoy looking at stars. this isn't a rescue, this is a hell. We weren't there when the monkey was out but seeing the tiny shed looking environment for it was saddening. they had gators piled in a pond with another sign claiming it was okay. they had giant snakes that couldn't even stretch or move. they had exotic pets with terrible enclosures. I feel bad for the workers that can't fix it because of this stubborn and quite clearly rude owner. So before the owner drops a hate comment on my insanely honest review, how about you put that net worth to use . Very sad to see this wasn't an animal rescue I was really hoping to see, with the 15 guinea pigs crammed in a tiny cage with no enrichment or anywhere to hide :( better luck bringing your family to any other rescue facility. stop ignoring the reviews and go change these animal lives for the better!! who would lie about bad conditions?? I only have the animals best interest in my heart. And no i don't have thousands to donate but the owner needs to do something! read more

This review is for their Hubbardston location - it is the saddest "zoo" I have ever been to. The animals are in extremely small spaces, with limited to no enrichment. For example, the otters have no water to play in, and the fox is in a very small cage under the stairs. It's entirely indoors (except for some lucky owls outside). The inside looks like a partially finished garage, with hard cement floors that are barely covered in straw or old blankets in the enclosures. The animals have no place to retreat to - in many cases the tops of their enclosures are open and children can reach in whenever they want. read more

Me and my fiancé came here for the first time on Saturday. Everyone we interacted with was so accommodating and knowledgeable to make our experience wonderful. I can't thank everyone enough for making our visit so enjoyable. We did the 1 hour private tour and I got to meet Hazel, the capybara. I got to hold a toucan too. We had so much fun read more

Animal Adventures - Owl - Zoos Near Me - Bolton, Massachusetts

Animal Adventures in Bolton, MA is truly a hidden gem and an amazing rescue doing wonderful work for animals in need. Every animal there is clearly well cared for, loved, and given a safe second chance. We had the opportunity to meet so many amazing creatures...reptiles, birds, mammals, and even some more exotic residents! The highlight of mine and my fiancé's visit was the otter encounter, and it was unforgettable! Our tour guide, Marshall, was fantastic; knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the animals. He made the entire experience fun and educational, and his care for the animals really showed. Interacting with the otters up close was something we'll never forget. I can't recommend Animal Adventures enough. If you're looking for an engaging, hands-on, and heartwarming experience while supporting a rescue, this is the perfect place. We will definitely be back! read more

Great spot for kids to learn about animals and interact with them. The staff are very knowledgeable and excited to provide educational tours. The focus on animal rescue is great. read more

It's always cool to see animals up close to have a better view but for what expense? That you're supporting exotic animal abuse, can taste their feces in the air in the entire place, and looking at them distressed in a cage 2x their body length. You cannot witness these animals in a fun active manner, they are crammed in tiny cages in survival mode, mostly are freaked out. The biggest ones that hit me was about 12 lemers crammed in a tiny cage all together. Then a tiny monkey was clearly loosing his mind, screaming at us, very frantic, in a cage a size small enough for a parakeet. (Good thing he was behind glass for our safety :-( ) This is not a place ppl drop of their pets (very FEW have) and these animals are not turned over to this place by zoo's that will not take these animals. This is mostly black market purchases that have gotten out of control. No one that loved an animal/pet would bring it here to slowly rot in this place. This is not a sanctuary- it's hell for these poor animals. This place is someone's house, with small added sheds around the yard and 3/4 tiny outdoor enclosures turned into a major hoarding zoo with the smallest of cages, stacked on top and next to each other. Putting these animals in dyer situations. When will these ppl stop buying animals? They have NO room. Surely, there has to be laws especially for the exotic animals crammed up crying for someone/something to save them. Heartbreaking, disgusting, and just outright wrong. -and to the gentleman replying to these Yelp post about this business. Please open up a lemonade stand and save up some money to get these animals in safer conditions and looks like you need a health evaluation. How are the fire codes in this place? Get off complaining and go clean the crappy cages, thank you read more

Would not recommend the capybara encounter at Animal Adventure. We booked this experience for four people, and the total cost was about $370 for approximately 15 minutes. Unfortunately, all we were allowed to do was briefly touch the capybara on its back. We couldn't get near its face, feed it, or interact with it in any meaningful way. Essentially, we paid nearly $400 just to watch the capybara eat from inside its enclosure. Honestly, I would have been just as satisfied watching from outside the enclosure without paying for the encounter. The experience felt very overpriced for the limited interaction provided. read more

Such a cute place! Staff were very knowledgeable. Brian was fantastic. Would highly recommend for all ages! read more

I came here for my birthday specifically for the Capybara encounter. I saw a video of Hazel online and I had to meet her. Paige took us to meet Hazel and she was friendly and knowledgeable. Then we did a "pick 6" tour. I originally wanted to see the wallaby, but our tour guide Benji recommended something else. I'm so glad he did because I got to meet Splinter the South American paca and he is SO cute!!! Benji also took us to see foxes, armadillos, kangaroo, and the kinkajou. He was also friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to anyone. You can tell they care about your safety as well as the animals. read more

My partner and I participated in a ten-minute capybara encounter. This was $85 a person--such a ripoff. We felt so ripped off and immediately realized that a business that will rip off their customers, will also not take care of their animals. The capybara is definitely the "VIP" of the place. She has a relatively nice outdoor cage but she is given very little interaction with anyone outside of the encounters. Capybaras are very social, community oriented animals so this was tough to see. But the capybara encounter was by far the most humane part of the entire visit... I have never cried so hard at a "rescue farm." I have no doubt that the animals are suffering every day. The animals are living in such horrible conditions. Yes, they are fed and given water but that is it. The animals are provided with the absolute bare minimum needed for survival. I witnessed a worker bringing a kangaroo to a group of visitors. I will never forget the image that I saw of the horrified kangaroo. Furthermore, I saw the kangaroo's cage--there's no room for the kangaroo to move, let alone hop around. I witnessed the goats and cow...they are trapped in a very small pen and can't move around without falling into their own fecal matter. The indoor area smelled horribly. Many of the cages were dirty and most animals do not have enough space to move. I would not suggest going to this place because of the obvious suffering of the animals. If you would like to visit a sanctuary farm, I would highly suggest Unity Farm or Winslow Farm. *Since I can't respond to the owner's comment in any place accept for here, I want to indeed say that this a 100% legit review. This was my experience and I wrote about it. read more

I'm not one to leave 1 star reviews on independent businesses because I'm of the opinion "if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all" re: Yelp, especially as a retail worker who knows how entitled and petty customers can be, but when it comes to animal welfare, there are standards that must be met and I unfortunately do not get the impression that this facility meets those expectations. I will not pretend to be an expert, I don't have a formal education in zoology however I am someone who spends a lot of free time researching animals, hence my interest in visiting this place to see some cool species. I was very disappointed with many of the enclosures; while some appeared adequate, most were questionable. There were kangaroos in a tiny room indoors. Gators sharing a small pond. One topic I can claim to know about is hedgehog and ferret welfare, as I have owned both in my life, and I was very alarmed to notice that the ferrets had a wheel while the hedgehog did not. Ferrets cannot use a wheel as it will harm their spine. Hedgehogs NEED a wheel, it's an absolute non-negotiable, as they naturally run for miles every single night. My hedgehog picks her wheel over various toys and other enrichment, not to mention her habitat is 4x2, the minimum, which this facility did not meet (it was like a 5 gallon tank). It made me very sad to see the very large looking hedgehog balled up in its hide in a barren, tiny tank. There were also numerous reptiles crammed into tiny enclosures including with mixed species. Seeing the massive snakes in an empty breeder tank was very demoralizing. There was a porcupine clearly stressed in a tiny pen with newspaper. There are priorities that could feasibly be rearranged to improve the lives of these animals but it seems like providing lots of parking to secure max ticket sales is where the owner has decided to invest. Kids are also allowed to run rampant around even anxious animals like rabbits that are easily stressed. I'm mad at myself for coming here, the impression on Yelp is a lot prettier than the reality in person, but there are still some red flags that seem obvious now. Spend your money elsewhere. I visited weeks ago and I'm haunted with guilt. And btw, no, I don't have the wrong place, unfortunately I could never forget this place in the worst way. read more

I like to take my daughter to the zoo but wanted to see if we could find something different. Came across Animal Adventures which had goats and exotic animals and bunny petting area. Was about 45 minute drive wasn't bad. Parking I got lucky to get main area parking spot. Admission was $16 and free for kid under 2. We bought $1 ice cream cone and food to feed goats. Was nice but one of goats rammed my daughter hand in fence. But she was totally fine. Wish there was some signs to show caution for people with little ones. We walked around the there were spots that had some wires out and places little ones could fall so be sure keep good eye on your little ones! The bunny petting area was nice. The steps to get in weren't very secure I wish they wouldve secured those alittle more! All and all the animals looked very well cared for! Was a fun little 1-2 hr activity for my daughter and I! read more

I took my teenaged son here to have the capybara encounter, and it was great!

I highly recommend this place and its staff to anyone looking to see exotic animals in New England! read more

Smaller, more interesting and more personal than any zoo we've visited, Animal Adventures is all about getting really close to a variety of interesting and sometimes exotic animals. Would you like to pet a porcupine, feed an alligator or walk with a tortoise? Then this is your place. They offer general admission starting at $15 which is self guided and includes animal shows, or a variety of private guided tours, where you get to go into the cages and interact with the animals. We selected their 90 minute tour, which provided us with a personally guided tour with a zookeeper assigned to our group of six, and included hands-on introductions to a variety of their animals. Some of their animals include owls, kangaroos, porcupines, foxes, alligators, snakes, armadillos, skunks, wallaby, emu, and more. These can change as Animal Adventures is actually a rescue providing "homes to unwanted and unable to be cared for animals, while educating the public about these animals." We had a great time and spent a couple of hours here, petting a boa constrictor, porcupine (better pet them in the correct direction!), tortoises, emu, goats, lizards, bunnies and more. Our 3 year old companion had a great time, and the adults did too! This is a real gem to visit when in the area, a must see if you like animals. read more

This place was disappointing and the enclosures are too small for most of the animals. The conditions were terrible. All the glass aquariums were cloudy and dirty. It smelled of urine- as if the enclosures were not cleaned often. We noticed a very sick naked young rabbit hobbling around. It had been rainy the day before and all the outdoor enclosures were mud - they should have shelters or roofs to keep areas dry. Some animals did not have any water - even after the rain. It was very sad to see and I left feeling awful about the animals. I would definitely not come here again. If you like animals this place, it will be sad and disappointing. Skip it. If you want to see how animals should be kept- visit Drumlin farm. read more

We went to their branch in Hubbardston - it was such an amazing experience! David gave us a private tour since we were the only group there at that time. He introduced every single animal to us and let us pet each of them. My whole family loved the experience! We truly appreciate their services!! Highly recommended! read more

I'm a little on the fence with this place. When we first pulled up my kids wanted to leave. First impressions definitely weren't the best. The zoo is spread across several buildings and outdoor exhibits. On one hand, there were a ton of opportunities to get up close to various animals. I didn't pay for the guided tour but we ended up having a couple of staff members showing us around and it was almost like a personal tour. My kids loved hearing about the animals and being able to touch so many different ones. The animals were clearly loved and the cages were very clean. When I asked where the animals came from I was told some were from zoos that couldn't care for them, or personal pets turned over. On the other hand, some of the enclosures were clearly inadequate. The large alligators in cramped conditions were the most notable. Some of the animals seemed to be lacking something, maybe mental stimulation or a companion, they need and were exhibiting odd behavior. The zoo felt more like someone's personal animal collection that got a bit out of hand. The animals are also used to travel to schools and other paid events, which could be stressful for anyone. Although my kids loved it, after their initial reaction, I wouldn't return. I generally like to support rescue zoos and the work they do but this just didn't feel that way to me. read more

This place is great. I enjoyed it as much as my kids. They have a lot of different animals. The staff is great and very knowledgeable.

Animal adventures was SO MUCH FUN, this place is a little slice of heaven for animal lovers and kids alike.When you pull in it's a small parking lot, so squeeze tight. And trust me don't be disappointed when you pull in and it looks small, TRUST ME I felt this way and I was like damn this is going to be boring but looks are deceiving because I had a freaking blast and there's animals all over. So I met my first BFF when the baby goats came up to me, I nearly lost it they're so adorable they just run around freely, and hunt you down for the cones they sell for 1.00 full of food for the goats. When you pull in the front part of the building reminds me of a petting zoo, they had adult goats, llamas, chickens, turkeys, a cool freaking duck. This place has all types of animals and all types of sections. They have piggies, rabbits, an owl, lynx's, monkeys , a scary ass snapping turtle, a parrot , a whole reptile room with snakes and stuff NOPE not for me! Omg and they have a room with alligators and crocodiles and you can feed them! ( I took a hard pass on that). Continuing , a kookaburra, kangaroos, emus, more wild cats, tortoises everywhere and they were HUGE. Shawn was the man of the hour he was running the whole place making sure everyone was well taken care of, he made everything much more enjoyable. Educated us a whole lot and made sure we saw all the animals. Now to some cool freaking stuff, they have these animal encounters you can do ( pay extra) , I don't remember the animals on the list but we did the kangaroo, they were so soft and cute, you go inside their enclosure and spend some time with them. I really enjoyed it. More cool stuff! My mom and best friend fed the alligators ( my biggest animal fear), the way they open their mouths and snap down lord Jesus gave me anxiety. We also was able to feed some wild cats, I think we fed the lynx, that was a fun experience the cats here are beautiful and actually very gentle. The animals here are taken well care of. This place takes on animals that nobody wants and that would've been put to sleep otherwise. The workers here are very educated and I appreciate all their hard work. Check out my pictures and videos it was cool! I'll be back with more people to visit. read more

We had a capybara experience here at the Zoo. Christian, the capybara handler was excellent and had a lot of info on the species. We were able to feed Hazel and have some time with her in her enclosure. It was a very good experience and would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about them. read more

I worry for the animals. The cages aren't big enough and the animals need to have more enrichment. In the reptile room there was a python in a display that was barely large enough for the snake and it was stacked underneath several other cages. The snake was not able to stretch out if it wanted to. Animals need room to move around. They have a bunny enclosure that they let kids run around in. I saw a new bunny get dropped off, shaking, and placed into the pen. The male bunnies immediately tried to mate with her. I brought it to the attention to a staff member who walked over to a guy trimming branches. He was not interested in helping out. I have seen the owner's responses to several reviews. Instead of acknowledging that animals need enrichment and room to move and forage, he is defensive and states something to the effect of 'animals don't care' about cages with fancy things. It's appalling to me that someone who is responsible for animals would say such a thing. Edited to add: This is a for-profit organization. You can find their website at zoo.church. The owner claims to have a PhD, but never identifies the university. He claims to be a leading crocodile biologist, but no evidence of this can be found online. Please don't support Animal Adventures. The animals would be better served by being placed with organizations that actually know how to care for them. Animal Adventures They professes to care for animals yet they show no concern for animals' well being. read more

This place broke my heart. The enclosures were WAY too small for the animals. Little to no enrichment was provided. Many of the animals were showing stereotypical (stress) behaviors left and right (primates, big cats, foxes), And it smelled awful... not like a normal stinky zoo... the smell actually stuck to my clothes after I left. I asked a lot of questions about the animals' care, specifically the amount of time they get outside of the enclosures. I was told that they don't like going outside. The alligator that they used for the show was so happy to be in the sun. Unfortunately, the rest of the alligators live in a tank so small, they were unable to move about freely without climbing on one another. Regarding the largest alligators, I was told that the staff didn't have time to "do the filter" yesterday, which was why it smelled so bad. I doubt that thing has been looked at in months. Literal swamp. Plus the alligators couldn't even lay in the water without being all curled up. Honestly I think they have too many animals, and unfortunately don't have the resources to care for them all in the appropriate way. BUT they are opening a new location in Hubbardston?? Finally, look at other reviews. One of them received a response from a staff member that was so incredibly defensive and aggressive... not acceptable. read more

First-off the staff are welcoming when you arrive and let you know that they are there for you if you need them. During the visit one gets to see a variety of animals that range from New England down to the Everglades, across the Globe to Asia. Therefore, it is an enjoyable experience for a kid, and someone like me, who appreciates/loves wildlife. And when one does pass a staff member by along the way they enthusiastically offer a glimpse into the background of the Emu, or Red Tailed Hawk. read more

We did a private tour which was amazing! Where else can you pet a kangaroo and porcupine, and hold a toucan? However, I was a little bothered by the sizes of some of the animal's exhibits.

A few problems I have with this place 1. is the smell, when I went inside it smelt so bad I could barely breathe, it smelt like piss and like it never gets cleaned. 2. Enclosures: The enclosures are too small and not good for the animals, some of them were trying to get out. 3. The location: This place is in the middle of nowhere on a random street that takes a little while to drive when you get off the highway. 4. The parking: The parking is good in some places but when some places it is very hard to back out if. Everything else is amazing though! read more

I'm surprised this place doesn't have higher reviews. I initially saw Animal Adventures on Groupon and decided to do some further investigating. I went on their website and ended up purchasing the Extreme Adventure Tour, which included a two-hour private tour, giving us 1-on-1 access to the exotic animals in the sanctuary. I really like that Animal Adventures provides the tours as an option because most places don't do that for such a reasonable price. This place actually isn't hard to find and there is a ton of street side parking. We made reservations for our tour for around noon, when it wasn't as packed but by the time we left around 2:30, it was packed with families and groups. I was very impressed by the variety of animals here, and liked that the tour provided us with 1-on-1 time with the animals. We got to meet the lynx, wallaby, kangaroos, alligators, boa constrictors, chinchillas, macaws, skinks, and much more! It was definitely a really cool experience. I came with my boyfriend and it was something neither of us had experienced before, so it's definitely something you could do for a cool date. The staff who gave us a tour was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and she definitely knew how to handle them, which was nice. She was extremely thorough and gave us a few options of how we could do the tour. We also got 15 minutes to spend with any one of the animals we met during our extreme tour. We ended up spending extreme time with the porcupine. She was super cute! Final thoughts, I definitely go to this place again. I had a really great experience. read more

A very sad place. They have some beautiful animals but trapped in small and dirty enclosures, especially the reptiles. The Caiman were swimming in their own feces. There was hardly any information on the animal's histories other than a vervet monkey in a small enclosure that said it was rescued from show business. Overall a poorly maintained place with sad animals who deserve better. Do not recommend. read more

I was blown away by not only the diversity of animals but also the caring and interactive staff! We got to see the animals way closer than any zoo and they were happy to see us. Lynxes, foxes, a serval, a bobcat, alligators, crocodiles, pythons, kangaroos, proqupines, farm critters and so much much more. They had shows to interact with the animals and could even pet/feed them yourself. We paid general admission but because many people paid for special access they were kind enough to allow us to pet some of the animals with those people. They even let us keep some feathers and quills. The animals are well taken for and it shows read more

Also here to let you know that they are not compliant with Covid Regulations. Only 2 members of the staff were wearing masks. When we walked into one of the indoor "exhibits" there were 5 people standing inside not wearing masks. They welcomed us in to check it out. I asked if they would be wearing masks and the owner replied, "No, this group isn't wearing masks". Indoors. In a small space where it is physically impossible to social distance. In a pandemic. We ended up not going in. Which also meant we didn't get to see the animal shows that were advertised with our tickets. I really wish there was some sort of indication of their loose masking policies during a pandemic, as I would have chosen to bring my family elsewhere. Sad, all around. read more

Animal Adventures - Zoos Near Me - Bolton, Massachusetts

Almost none of the staff here wear masks. I saw four people go into the same low-ceilinged trailer at the same time, all unmasked. Many of the animals are indoors. When we momentarily got cornered with an unmasked staff member, I asked her if she wouldn't mind masking up while we were around; she flatly refused. I saw several other staff members indoors without masks as well. This is a place that doesn't believe in wearing masks to protect each other or you. ETA: you're going to see a response below that's disingenuous. There were indeed two staff members wearing masks; no one else was, though. Guy at the front desk, a bunch of people who were in and out of buildings, none were masked at any point. Social distancing is not possible indoors, which means that this place is absolutely violating Mass guidelines. This is not an "inconvenience;" it's a danger. In addition, I found this statement from owner Ed Laquidara at https://www.alignable.com/bolton-ma/zoo-church: "This whole shutdown is in  Not necessary, The numbers as most people understand can be altered to fit somebody's needs the number we should look at is the Fatality rate which is always been going down I am very linked into the medical community in most aspects this is a planned out event I'm just so disappointed how America has just folded and acted in fear,Are we really just gonna sit here I scare little children and let the government destroy our business our families everything is this really living" read more
